Stella & Dot Partners With Autism Speaks to Promote Awareness

Stella & Dot, the San Bruno-based social selling company that specializes in jewelry and accessories, announced this week that it has partnered with Autism Speaks to raise awareness about autism.

Beginning in April, Stella & Dot will be selling its Shine Bracelet to raise funds for the advocacy organization. Twenty percent of the proceeds from the sale of the bracelet will be donated to Autism Speaks, the company said.

"So many people in our Stella & Dot family have been touched by autism," Jessica Herrin, CEO and founder of the company, said in a statement. "We're excited that the Stella & Dot Foundation will take its first step to raise and contribute funds to drive awareness and develop treatments for autism."
