The vision and the passion behind Ann-Made bracelets is Ann Skydell Harmon, a special education art teacher. She set out to show that businesses have the power to "do good" for society and the planet in all aspects of their operations. Ann-Made bracelets are made from soda can tabs to remind us that recycling is important and that creativity can put many discarded materials to new use. The tabs were collected by New Jersey students and purchased by Ann-Made from a non-profit organization who in turn donates all money to charities. The jewelry is hand-made by people in great need of the extra income. A portion of the proceeds from each sale go to a number of environmental causes.
