AHV Badges: Pay It Forward

Last week, I got the chance to attend and speak at Circles Conference (put on by @Ismael Burciaga and co.).

While it was awesome to get inspired and meet lots of new designer friends, I couldn't help but think that after experiencing a great conference, that there has to be an easier way for designers to 'pay it (that inspiration, energy and positivity) forward'.

During my talk, I committed 100% of my CM shop sales during the month of October to support the relief work that All Hands Volunteers is doing in response to the flooding in Colorado. At Creative Market, we're always talking about a way to give back, and this is another opportunity to move in the right direction. Hearing @Cameron Moll speak about Charity Water and @Jeff Sheldon talk about giving back only added fuel to our fire in this area (thanks guys!).

If you're a shop owner (or want to be) on Creative Market, please join us in supporting this meaningful cause by committing a portion of your sales to help AHV meet the response challenges that they currently face. Your passive income can make a physical difference to those in need in Colorado.

You can read more about it in my Circles Conf blog post.

If you're interested, here's what to do:

> Download the attached AHV Badge PSD that I designed.

> Let Lesley know you're going to participate.

> Put the badge on your shop header on October 1st, then take it down on November 1st.

> Let Lesley know how much you raised privately via email.

>Submit it to All Hands Volunteer through this donation page after you get paid out.

We hope you join us in this spontaneous way of giving back to a need at hand.

Let us know if you have any questions. Cheers!
