Located in Mandeville, Louisiana between Pontchartrain Elementary and Tchefuncte Middle School, the playground has many purposes.
It is a sensory integration playground designed to help children with autism, ADHD and special needs regain self-control and concentration—and play like everyone else.
The yards are designed with rubber, safety-tile surfacing, making them ADA-accessible. Numerous Braille mosaics also dot the site, large enough to accommodate a full-size “typical” classroom, along with the students from special education classes.
Through the sales of the Facing Autism pendant the Jeweler for a Cause Fund was able to make a generous donation to this worthy project.

Now, Dale will produce a “Jeweler for a Cause Collection” a growing collection that raises money, awareness and the spirits for a variety of non-profit causes.
Among the pieces featured in the collection is the Self-esteem pendant. Promoting the message that “I am loved” and everyone is beautiful just as they are.
So far, a portion of the proceeds from sales of the pendant have been donated to the Vascular Birthmark Foundation, a New York-based organization that connects families affected by birthmarks, vascular tumors and syndromes to medical professionals and programs that promote the acceptance of people living with such marks.
At the foundation’s annual conference held in November Dale presented the group with a donation of $5,000.

Self-Esteem
The “I Believe” self-esteem pendant simply put:
“You are beautiful just the way you are.” Every young lady should have this pendant around her neck a little message that says, “I am loved”. Today’s pop culture and mass media promote a narrow view of beauty, defining beauty in a distorted, sexual stereo-type manner. Expectations put on children, in particular teenage girls are unrealistic and unhealthy, often resulting in low self-esteem and depression as these girls are developing their self-image. This original design is part of the Anne Dale Jeweler for a Cause Campaign.
A portion of the proceeds will go to non-profit groups helping children with self-esteem issues such as the Vascular Birthmark Foundation.“I Believe” the self-esteem pendant is Made in the U.S.A. and available nationwide.
Jeweler for a Cause
Anne Dale jewelry designer from New Orleans finds inspiration in worthy causes. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina devastated her home town, she designed a pin she calls the “I Know What It Means to Love New Orleans Badge”. Her simple idea was to create a gift for first responders in appreciation for their heroic efforts. Anne’s noble idea created a storm in itself making her design the symbol of the city’s recovery and a badge of courage for everyone that endured the aftermath of Katrina. Anne’s New Orleans Collection jewelry designs have raised over $175,000.00 in hurricane relieve money.
The Anne Dale Jeweler for a Cause Fund has been established, in this fund goes a portion of the proceeds from sales. Anne Dale’s goal is to raise money, awareness and the spirits for non-profit groups throughout the United States and aboard.
