For charitable causes, endless effort is expended to create a promotional item (http://www.onceuponastocking.com).
Founder and owner of Once Upon a Stocking, Dawn Quinn, originally designed these stockings by hand and only gave them to friends and family at the holidays. People urged Ms. Quinn for
years to produce the stockings for broad sale and consumption, but it wasn't until she experienced personal tragedy--a husband who suffered from aphasia--that she decided to found Once
Upon A Stocking and utilize her great gift to bring consciousness of such disabilities and causes to others.
Today, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Co-Survivor pink and white stocking is but one of many they are now producing for upwards of 20 charitable organizations for their Profit with a
Purpose program.
Ms. Quinn continues the tender care she brought to the original crafting of these stockings as the company has blossomed; in addition to being the founder and president of the company,
she is the sole designer. In implementing her beautiful and unique creations, she literally scours the planet in search of the perfect silks, satins, lames, faux animal hides and other
fabrics and utilizing only the finest available. In some cases a fabric is not available anywhere, and must be manufactured by the company themselves; the puzzle-piece fabric used for the
autism stocking is an example.
The stockings are crafted in the company's 5,000-square-foot facility in Farmers, Kentucky. The company also offers unique promotional items other than stockings, such as fully customized
photo throws and photo pillows. They specialize in fundraising activities for local affiliate chapters of their causal partners.
