exit343design donates: the first half of 2026!

Hello from August of 2026! Took me a little bit to get to this, but better late than never. For the first six months of 2026, exit343design sold nearly 5k stickers! A fabulous number considering I didn't participate in the Philadelphia Flower Show this year, typically a huge boost for my small biz.

At any rate, the donation delay turned out to be advantageous: PAWS Philly was having a donation match window so I took advantage of it to maximize our impact:

1. $265.30 went to PAWS this half and it will be matched by a donor on their end :)
2. The remaining $250 went to Conserve Wildlife NJ, a a foundation in New Jersey dedicated to protecting vulnerable species in New Jersey.

I have been a personal supporter of Conserve Wildlife NJ for a while now, they manage some bird-centric projects and research on LBI. This year, a member of their leadership has been very vocal on what a tough summer it has been for Osprey in our area; nest monitors have reported failing nests and fledglings dying of starvation, a huge blow to years of conservation efforts. These observations have been top of mind for me and I wanted to contribute in some small way- so thank you for those who purchased stickers to allow me to do that!

Since exit343design introduced stickers in 2018, we have committed to donating 5% of ALL sales (retail & wholesale!) to Philly PAWS and other local animal welfare organizations. Want to support the cause and grab a sticker? Check them out here!
