A Very Merry Market

Our Collaboration with TEARS Foundation

We are proud to announce our official partnership with the TEARS Foundation, a South African nonprofit organization dedicated to providing vital assistance to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. Founded in 2012, TEARS has become a lifeline for countless individuals, offering 24/7 support, counseling, access to medical care, and legal guidance. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to bring hope and healing to those who need it most. By partnering with TEARS, A Very Merry Market is taking an active step in supporting this life-changing work. Together, we aim to raise awareness, encourage community involvement, and contribute to the resources needed to continue their outreach. Here’s how our market will support TEARS: 100% of raffle and silent auction proceeds will be donated directly to TEARS Foundation. We’re inviting sponsors and donors to contribute items or experiences for the auction and raffle. Visitors will be able to learn more about TEARS and discover how to make a difference year-round. This collaboration goes beyond fundraising—it’s about shining a light during the festive season for those who may feel forgotten or alone. By attending the market, supporting the raffle, or contributing to our auction, you are directly helping TEARS Foundation continue their incredible work. Together, we can make this a season of giving, hope, and healing.
