There’s something magical about a child picking out the perfect Mother’s Day gift — especially when that gift is chosen from the heart.

At TLC Marketing & Creative Services, we believe that even the simplest gestures can make a big impact. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the 2nd Annual Mother’s Day Jewelry Drive, benefitting the students of Bonita Springs Elementary School.

This special initiative gives children the chance to surprise their moms with a beautiful piece of gently used jewelry — something sparkly, sentimental, or just plain fun — and say “I love you” in their own sweet way.

A Community Tradition Rooted in Love

“It’s incredible how something as small as a piece of jewelry can carry immense love and appreciation,” says Trish Leonard, founder of TLC Marketing & Creative Services and a dedicated member of the Bonita Springs Elementary Student Advisory Committee (SAC).

Trish has a front-row seat to the heartfelt interactions between school families and staff. “Every SAC meeting reminds me just how deeply these parents care about their children’s education and emotional well-being. It’s a privilege to be part of that,” she says. “And it’s especially touching to see parents engaged in both English and Spanish — showing up and supporting their children in any way they can.”

This jewelry drive is TLC’s way of echoing that same spirit — giving back to the families who make our community so special.

How You Can Help

We’re inviting YOU — our friends, clients, and neighbors — to dig into your jewelry boxes and find a few gently used treasures that could become cherished gifts in the hands of a child.

Donations will be accepted now through April 16, 2025. Volunteers will lovingly sort and prepare the items so that on Thursday, May 8th, the children of Bonita Springs Elementary can “shop” for the perfect gift for their moms — completely free of charge.

This isn’t just about jewelry. It’s about creating memories, building confidence, and giving children the opportunity to experience the joy of giving.

Giving with Purpose: How This Project Reflects Our Mission

At TLC Marketing & Creative Services, we’re more than a marketing agency — we are a purpose-driven team dedicated to helping businesses thrive through strategic messaging, audience-growing events, and relationship-building outreach. Our mission and vision are grounded in the belief that successful brands start with authentic community connections.

The Mother’s Day Jewelry Drive is a natural extension of our corporate social responsibility. It reflects our commitment to supporting the communities we serve, especially through meaningful projects that empower children, uplift families, and bring people together.

Just like our work with clients, this drive tells a story — one of compassion, connection, and creative impact. It’s about using what we have to make a difference. One necklace, one bracelet, one tiny gesture of love at a time.
