Chicks Care!
What goes around, comes around!
Concert Chick Productions believes it’s important to support causes that make this world a happier and healthier place. To this end, we’ve established Chari-tee™ Wing and ChicKarma™ programs that will highlight and/or partner with organizations, people, and things that bring us all full circle…because it’s true…what goes around, comes around. It’s a lovely thing. On this page, you’ll meet our charity partner and be introduced to other fine companies’ charitable efforts that we think are really cool. Time to meet our partner.
Our Favored Charity
Our charity partner is Inspirit, Inc., a non-profit, community-based organization founded in June, 2000 in Palm Beach County, Florida that provides live music and the performing arts to people of all ages who are living in an institution, such as a nursing home, senior assisted living facility, Alzheimer’s day care center, children’s shelter, pediatric hospital, mental health center, rehabilitation institute, or correctional facility. Inspirit provides this service at no cost to the host facility in order to raise morale, promote the healing process, and relieve the boredom, loneliness and despair that are so often a part of institutional life. In addition, local musicians and performance artists are given an opportunity to contribute their special talents to the community. Ginny Meredith, founder and Executive Director, is a musician and breast cancer survivor who experienced music as an important part of her own healing process, and is committed to share that experience with others. Click on Inspirit, Inc. to learn more about this outstanding organization and to make a direct donation.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of identified products will be donated to this great cause.

What do you think rock stars do with all their used guitar strings? Think no more! Wear Your Music offers bracelets made from celebrity guitar strings. Brilliant! And not only are they fabulously fun fashion statements, 100% of the profits from each bracelet are donated to a charity chosen by the artist. Here’s the scoop. Each bracelet is handcrafted from used guitar strings donated by the artist you’ve selected. The seal, which binds the unisex bangle-style bracelet, is 99.9% pure Harmony silver and hand stamped with the initials of the artist. Each bracelet is custom made just for you after it is ordered. Wear Your Music is an environmentally friendly company and in keeping with their philosophy, the Harmony silver is not mined but recycled and refined in an earth-friendly process and each artist bracelet ordered comes packaged in a recycled DVD case with a certificate of authenticity. For example, Concert Chick Avril Lavigne, the Canadian Grammy award-nominated pop singer, musician, fashion designer and actress, has selected 100% of the profits from her guitar string bracelets to go to the Make A Wish Foundation of America . Check out Wear Your Music to see the other celebrity offerings and more.
And if you don’t want to order a celebrity bracelet, you can still be part of the excitement and support a great cause by ordering a one-size-fits all guitar string bracelet that comes in seven colors. The red, white, and blue bracelet shown below, named Rock America, is an example of what the non-custom bracelet looks like. Of course, you can do your own customization by combining different colors, wearing one or all! You’ll even find guitar and music note charms that you can attach to your bracelet. Make it yours! And rock on knowing that with each sale, a percentage of the profits are donated to MusiCares which provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of financial, medical and personal emergency need. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community. Happy shopping!
A discussion of charity bracelets wouldn’t be complete without a mention of Cartier’s Charity LOVE Bracelets, which were created in 2006 to celebrate its legendary LOVE collection and to benefit certain charities. The bracelet features an 18K white or pink gold ring through which a satin cord is threaded and customized to fit on your wrist. Today, there are 24 charities selected by celebrity ambassadors that benefit from Cartier’s efforts. Visit Cartier LOVE Charity to find out who the celebrity ambassadors and their charities are, as well as specific information about the bracelets. Our personal favorite is the brown satin cord bracelet benefiting Faith Hill & Tim McGraw’s Neighbor’s Keeper Foundation. While there are so many great causes and colors to choose from, Faith Hill is the epitomy of a Concert Chick, so naturally we go where she goes. Actually, there are many Concert Chicks on the list: Ashanti (Boys & Girls Club), Hilary Duff (Blessings in a Backpack), Eve (Women in Transition), Fergie(The Peapod Foundation), Janet Jackson (Ovarian Cancer National Alliance), and Rihanna(Believe). The list grows with each passing year. One day, there will be a Rox, the Concert Chick, bracelet to benefit Inspirit, Inc. It’s on the dream list!
