People are already buzzing over this year’s Fiesta medals
Originally, IKEA had said that the medals would be sold through the Fiesta store.
“We have since made the decision to give the medals to the San Antonio community, as our birthday gift to our customers,” says Diedre Goodchild, Store Manager of IKEA Live Oak, “we will make a separate donation directly to CASA so they can continue to do phenomenal work protecting our community’s children.”
She said the medals will not be sold at the IKEA store.
“At IKEA we believe children are the most important people in the world,” Janeli Castrejana, IKEA Live Oak Loyalty Manager, said in a news release. “We could think of no better way to celebrate our first medal and birthday than by giving back to the community and helping a great cause.”
