Where we are now...
our products
To honor my mom's attitude, legacy and memory, I trademarked her motto and decided to create products that are symbolic of her vivacious spirit and embrace 4 of my values. Today, "Play the Day" means...
1. Celebrate the little things (actually, celebrate EVERYTHING!)
We feature celebratory products because Sydney found joy and humor in many moments, even challenging ones. So, celebrate the small victories and milestones on your journey, and celebrate joyful moments and people in your life. SHOP NOW.
2. Respect and love for nature and the environment
All paper products are made from 100% recycled paper, and we sell glass, never plastic products.
3. Support for small businesses
With all our products we strive to partner with small businesses as much as possible.
For example:
- MDCC prints our products on 100% recycled paper.
- BE Green Napkin Company is the source of our biodegradable and compostable napkins.
4. Give back
My mom believed strongly in supporting charities. 10% of the proceeds from each sale will be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, specifically for Rivkin Pilot Grants, to support ovarian cancer research by scientists around the world. This charity is important to me for two reasons:
1) My maternal grandmother died from this disease almost 60 years ago.
2) My dear friend, Mary Anne, passed away in 2009 from ovarian cancer.
To date, we still do not have an early detection test for this deadly disease!
