The new Simply Crafted line is dedicated to the Folds of Honor Foundation.  Folds of Honor is a nonprofit organization that has been meeting sacrifice with hope since 2007.  The Foundation honors America’s fallen and disabled military and first responders by awarding scholarships to the spouses and children of those who have been killed or disabled in the line of duty,  The Folds of Honor logo, a folded American flag, has thirteen folds and is a reminder of those who have paid the ultimate price for our nation’s freedom.  The Sandridge family has been supporting the Folds of Honor Foundation for many years. Recently, the family decided to make a stronger commitment by annually donating 13% of Simply Crafted items sold in special Folds of Honor packaging. The packaging prominently displays the folded flag logo.
