We're big on giving back to our community here at Riffraff. We're believers of the "what goes around, comes around" saying and we try to give back as much as possible as you all have allowed us to do what we love everyday. Last year alone we gave back over $2,400 to local non profits here in Northwest Arkansas!
Giving back comes in all different sizes and sometimes even the smallest gestures make the biggest impact. If you have been into Riffraff recently you may have noticed a jar by our register with the Jack Ryan Gillham Foundation logo on it. We are partnering with the Jack Ryan Gillham Foundation to raise funds for families of critically ill babies at Arkansas Children's Hospital March 1st-April 15th.
The Jack Ryan Gillham Foundation was established by Matt and Bethany Gillham in October of 2007 in memory of their only son, Jack, who passed away due to complications from a rare birth defect called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). Jack lived for six weeks and spent his entire life at Arkansas Children's Hospital. They want to honor their son by keeping his memory alive and what better way to do that than help the families of sick children like him? They Appreciate your interest in the foundation and hope that you are touched by Jack's life.
Stop by Riffraff and donate your extra change, every penny counts! Please visit their website to learn more about Jack and the foundation and how you can help! www.jackryangillham.org

I was in your store and noticed the jar and thought it was great! I also happen to know Beth and Matt, and their little boy has blessed many people's lives!
Thank you so much, Kirsten. We appreciate you. :)
