A Different Twist

About Us

My name is Kathi Ellers, owner of A Different Twist, and I am a jewelry artist. I love to create handcrafted jewelry of all types, especially beaded jewelry. So in 2001, when the teachers at my daughter’s elementary school asked me to design a bracelet for them to raffle off as a fundraiser for their Relay for Life TM team, I was excited and happy to do it. After the raffle, teachers started asking me how they could get one of the bracelets and then the Relay team captain approached me about using the bracelets as a fundraiser for their team. What started as a

single bracelet raffle quickly turned into a 1000+ bracelet fundraiser!

The school was able to raise thousands of dollars with the help of the bracelets and this was amazing to me. There are so many people affected by cancer today – very few people, if any, are not affected in some way. I decided to continue to make the bracelets and to sell them to Relay

teams and other people raising funds for cancer research or to help patients and their families. In addition to these funds, I donate 10% of the proceeds from the retail sales of the cancer awareness bracelets to the American Cancer Society on a monthly basis. (The choice of ACS is a personal decision – A Different Twist is not affiliated with ACS).

We now handcraft a wide variety of awareness jewelry that is sold throughout the United States and we even have jewelry items in other countries! I have chosen several different causes related to the jewelry that I donate to based on retail sales.

I am amazed and blessed everyday by the life stories of the people who purchase our products and I appreciate the opportunity to help raise funds to fight and someday cure cancer and other difficult diseases and conditions.
