Ex Voto Vintage to host Tastemaker’s Trunk fundraiser

Nine years after losing her youngest daughter, Madeline, to an inoperable brain tumor, owner and designer of Ex Voto Vintage Jewelry Elizabeth Adams continues to help raise money for a cure.

Adams partnered with James Farmer of James Farmer Designs and Paige Albright of Paige Albright Interiors to curate a treasure trunk full of their favorite things for this year’s Tastemaker’s Trunk fundraiser. 

“This is a very special fundraising opportunity for us,” Adams said. 

Throughout the month of April, the trio will collect $10 donations for The Cure Starts Now Foundation, a pediatric brain cancer research charity. Each $10 donation will equal a chance to win the entire Tastemaker’s Trunk. 

Items in the trunk will range from clothing and beauty products to wine and home goods. Last year, said Adams, the trunk’s value was approximately $3,000. Each $10 donation contributed means another chance at the trunk. Tastemaker’s Trunk raised approximately $5,000 in donations for the charity last year. 

“The winner was a woman out of Florida,” said Adams. “You don’t have to be here in the Birmingham area to enter.”

All donations are also tax-deductible. 

Ex Voto Vintage Jewelry has been donating proceeds from each sale to The Cure Starts Now Foundation since the company began in 2009. 

The Cure, which began in 2008, has since raised $2.5 million for pediatric brain cancer research and has helped change the landscape of cancer research by facilitating the collaboration of researchers from around the world.
