Starbucks and Wyclef Jean have partnered to make it easy for everyone to support the RedCross Haiti relief. Join all of us at Giving Back is the New Black and make a quick stop in any of your local Starbucks store to make a donation to the RedCross. The problems in Haiti can seem overwhelming but every little bit helps. YOU can be a part of making a difference.
We’re ringing in 2010 in style. It’s “A Night to Give Back” at the New Year’s Nashville party. Come out and support People Loving Nashville.
Last Christmas, as a gift to my mom, I started a Mocha Club team called Joanie’s Children. Joanie’s children supports Orphan Care and Vulnerable Children in Africa. All team members commit to giving $7 a month to the cause (the cost of 2 mochas, the concept behind Mocha Club.)
Please join our team, as a gift to someone you love for the holidays, or just as a gift to these children, who deserve love and hope more than anyone.
Merry Christmas, and Happy Giving Back!

Here’s a little bit about what Mocha Club’s Orphan Care does:
HIV/AIDS, disease, and war have taken the lives of so many parents in Africa, and that has left orphans for us to care for. These orphans have no form of child services or housing, and therefore are left to fend for themselves, often alone in the desert or the bush. In the Darfur area, the number one cause of death was wild hyena attacks, because the orphans had no safe area to sleep at night. They are also extremely vulnerable to slave raiders when they are left alone.
We provide the children with safe housing, protection, and complete care – food, education, spiritual direction, medical care, and vocational training. And this is only the beginning, as our goal is to develop these children into future leaders in their own communities.
Join Mocha Club members in caring for the next generation of Africa – children of hope and dreams.
GBitNB is lending a helping hand with New Year’s Nashville, set to be Nashville’s best NYE party this year. Proceeds from the party will support one of GB’s favorite Nashville ministries, People Loving Nashville, who feed the homeless on Monday nights.
We will be there, and we hope you will be too! This is an exclusive invite, and tickets are limited, so purchase today.
One of our very favorite people, Miss Lindsey Jones (half of This & That) is doing a Christmas show for one of our very favorite charities, Mocha Club! Hope to see you there! (See the cute Christmas poem below for more info!)

Thanksgiving is only a week away…WOW!! I feel this year, more than any in the past, we have so much to be thankful for! We at Giving Back are so thankful for all of you that have supported us by coming out to events, donating your time, money and energy for the cause…THANK YOU!!
On Thanksgiving morning I will be running the Belle Meade Bolt which aids in serving Nashville’s Homeless Community. I am looking forward to burning off the calories I will be adding back later with pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Join us this Saturday at the 3rd Annual Fall Wine & Cheese Party celebrating one of our favorite Nashville organizations, Mocha Club. Mocha Club is an organization that shows for the cost of 2 mochas, $7 per month, you can have an impact in Africa. They work with a variety of projects, from child soldiers to former sex slaves. For example, $7 a month can pay for one child’s AIDS’s medication or give clean water to 7 people for one year.
We encourage everyone to come out, bring a bottle of wine, make new friends, and find out how you can be involved with Mocha Club. Whether it be through a one-time gift or joining Mocha Club at $7/month.
