We opened our shop just over a month ago, and in that time, we've earned enough to directly donate just shy of $7,000 to several different causes!
Additionally, we've provided just under $5,000 in wares for local shops to sell for donation. Note that Sparkly Rocketship is paid roughly $2 per pin and pair of earrings and $0.50 per button that we provide to these shops to cover our costs:
In total, that is over $10,000 that Sparkly Rocketship has helped raise in the last 30 days!
