As we wind down with QLu’s final charitable celebrity auctions, we want to express to all of you what an honor it has been to work with you. We are proud to report that in less than a year and a half, we were able to raise over $200, 000 by repurposing everyday celebrity tees, jeans and sometimes glamour pieces into funds for tremendously important causes around the world. We achieved this together with all of you our sponsorship partners, celebrity friends and contributors and our devoted customers.

With over 7.0 million hits to the website and national and regional publicity we were also able to raise awareness for the amazing work our celebrity role models and their causes are doing throughout the globe. The impact truly was global as we worked with happy customers near and far, from Missouri to Hong Kong, Australia, Germany, Italy, the UK, Vietnam and many locales in between. Buyers were thrilled with their rare keepsakes and newfound knowledge of the philanthropic work of their beloved stars.

We hope you will stay in touch with us. “Q”, Susie, will continue her role with Tri-Eagle Sales selling the world’s finest malt and other specialty beverages in Tallahassee, Florida and “Lu”, Cindy, has joined GROUP360 in St. Louis, Missouri, a marketing communications company dedicated to helping consumer brand companies develop and deliver visual brand communications to market faster with better impact and less cost.

We thank you all and sign off with a favorite quote:

“There is so much energy and character in all used clothing, the magic is in reducing waste and increasing the life span of a tee shirt” Siman Doonan, Barney’s New York

We love the “magic” that was created together with all of you!

Cheers!

Susie Q and Cindy Lu
