Jewels and Pinstripes

Julie Kenney is a mom of two boys, Blake, 7, and Landon, 4. After succeeding in the corporate world, Julie longed for something more fulfilling. Julie was inspired to combine her love of creating fabulous gift bags and her heart for charity into her own celebrity gifting company, Jewels and Pinstripes. This innovative company allowed Julie to truly be passionate about her work, raise awareness to many deserving charities and have a flexible schedule to stay at home and raise her boys. As Jewels and Pinstripes grew from an extra bedroom in Julie's house to a large office space in Northern California, Julie still maintains the balance of a strong business woman and full-time mom, jetting off to an A-List event one week while helping in the classroom and team mom to the baseball team the next.

Jewels and Pinstripes (founded in 2004) is celebrity gifting at its finest, specializing in creating one-of-a-kind gift bags for high profile charity events and celebrity milestones. To date, Julie and Jewels and Pinstripes have raised more than $350,000 for children's charities through auctioning our gift bags online to benefit Save the Children, The Plasticos Foundation, Moment by Moment Foundation, Annika K. Strain Foundation, Care to Learn Fund as well as events that include the American Cinematheque Gala, Indianapolis 500, EXTRA Awards Lounge, MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute during Grammy Week, Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night just to name a few.
