Framebridge community,
Like many of you, we are thankful for the joys that 2021 brought us and also a little relieved it’s over. Our team enjoyed glimpses of normal, even celebratory, life again this year. And through what you framed, we know that you also got back to enjoying weddings, travels, and in-person school.
Operating this year wasn’t easy, but we continued to grow online and in stores. We opened 13 new stores with 2 more coming next month. Thank you to Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia for welcoming us and for framing wonderful things—we love getting to know your city’s culture through the art and mementos we see in each store. We also opened up a new production studio in New Jersey, expanding our talented team.
With your support, our Giving Tuesday campaign from last year funded photography education programs for hundreds of kids in New York, Atlanta, DC, and Lexington, KY through our partnership with 100cameras. This year, we’d like to make an even bigger contribution: 7 programs in 7 cities across the U.S. So beginning Black Friday and all through the weekend, we’re donating $10 from every frame sold to 100cameras to fund those programs—it’s the perfect opportunity for you to give a great gift to someone on your list while giving back.
As we gear up for our busy season, we feel especially proud that we are often the most special box under the tree. We are deeply moved by the stories behind what you frame—a Naval officer’s medals, a pair of Chicago flag socks, restaurant menus and ticket stubs from first dates—and we are so honored to help you celebrate them.
Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving, gathered together again.
Best wishes,
