Helping Haiti

A 7.0 earthquake hit southern Haiti on Tuesday causing catastrophe in the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Damage and destruction is widespread, with casualties and death toll not yet known.


Wee Bit Trendy and S.W.A.G. (Sharp With Art Group) have joined forces to help the earthquake victims in Haiti. We will be auctioning off paintings and baby products with full proceeds going to Haiti, they will be set up on Ebay with the help of missionfish.org, so that you are 100% sure the proceeds are going directly to the organization. We are also donating food, clothing and funds.

In the meantime, we have compiled a small list of LEGITIMATE ORGANIZATIONS that need our help. Money is not the only thing needed, so is food, clothing and supplies.

Also, if you would like to help us help them OR if you know other ways we can help, please just post a comment or contact us – info@weebittrendy.com  or swaggerart@gmail.com.  This is not the only way we plan to help Haiti and not the only thing we plan to do.

Christopher Campbell Scholarship Fund

Wee Bit Trendy is big on giving back to the community, supporting our community and we are big on those who give back to the community as well.

We'd like to tell you about Christopher Campbell. Christopher Paul Campbell was an active participant in the CYO, both academically and athletically, while attending Easton Catholic Elementary School and Notre Dame High School. In high school, Christopher was a member of the National Honor Society and St. Bernard's Youth Group. He volunteered at Miller Blood Center, worked at Jack Creek Steakhouse, and played on a CYO high school basketball team.

Christopher graduated from Notre Dame High School in 2003, and continued his studies at the University of Sciences in Philadelphia. Christopher loved life to the fullest and we honor his life-long love of learning.

In spite of his Cystic Fibrosis, Christopher celebrated life and the opportunities that education brings. Christopher would want other students to have th same opportunity. Chris' family and friends decided to honor his memory and created The Christopher Paul Campbell Memorial Scholarship Fund.

For more information regarding the Scholarship Fund,please visit the website at: http://www.cpcscholarshipfund.org/index.html

There is a fundraiser being held to benefit the scholarship fund.

For Love of Life Tournament

The ideas behind the Tournament are two-fold. One is to commemorate the life of Christopher Campbell through a sport he loved. We celebrate with a youth basketball tournament that provides a variety of participants with a fun and exciting opportunity to shine in the spotlight.The second opportunity is to raise funds to provide memorial scholarships in Christopher's name.
