Greenwich Gift Shop Splurge Donates Scarves To Local Cancer Patients

GREENWICH, CT — For the 12th consecutive year, Splurge, a gift shop in Greenwich, announced that from Oct. 1 through Oct.31, with every purchase of $150 or more, it will donate a beautiful pashmina scarf to a local cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

Splurge will provide notecards for customers to hand write an encouraging message to the patient receiving the scarf. If a customer would like to donate a pashmina scarf without meeting the minimum purchase, scarves are available for sale at a discounted price of $20 each. At the end of the month, Splurge will match the final quantity of donated scarves to double the gift.

"We started our annual pashmina donation program 11 years ago in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Our goal was to provide a little positivity for local cancer patients going through chemotherapy treatments," said Splurge owner Sonia Sotire in a news release. "Over the years this program has been lovingly supported by our customers and because of their generosity, we have been able to donate nearly 1,500 scarves. We are honored to continue the tradition and look forward to sharing scarves and messages of kindness and inspiration again this year.”

Splurge is located at 39 Lewis St. in Greenwich. The store offers a curated assortment of one-of-a kind gifts, from lovely hostess gifts to exquisite wedding gifts, hand crafted jewelry, tween gifts and clothes, and many personalized offerings.

Splurge is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
