American Widow Project

At Try Change we like to highlight individuals who are making a difference. People who no matter what thier current circumstances might be know that they can be there for someone else. Tonight we bring you two individuals that started an organization out of grief that has truly inspired not only us here at Try Change but thousands of people throughout the country via thier video, thier appearence on ABC News and their journey across the country.

Tonight we showcase the American Widow Project.

As stated on thier website:
The American Widow Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to the new generation of those who have lost the heroes of yesterday, today and tomorrow, with an emphasis on healing through sharing stories, tears and laughter………Military Widow to Military Widow.

Please take the time to view the video. You will walk away truly inspired.

Try Change at Crystal Couture!

Two months ago while checking out Art Whino’s website we came across a T-Shirt competition that they were holding in Crystal City VA. Crystal Couture was a two week fashion extravaganza! The event featured sample sales, runway and trunk shows from designers, local boutiques, and area salons. Each featured a theme with unique drinks, food tastes, and exciting fashions and music.



Try Change along with 100 other designers submitted a one design each in hopes of being selected in the top 20 that would be highlighted during Fashion week at Crystal Couture.

Not only did we get in the top 20 but we came in third place!



Above is the design that we submitted. Along with video of the event. Even more incredible was the fact that we were able to secure a tradeshow booth to highlight our designs. This enabled us to meet several great retailers, graphic artist and designers. Everyone was extremely nice, offering suggestions on production and future tradeshows they thought we should attend.



We like to thank Art Whino for being great host of this event. They provided a fashion show and live entertainment for all that came out for the free events.
