RETHREADED CHARITY EVENT AT TRINGALI BARN AT HERITAGE FARMS
2020-11-05 17:30 - 20:30 | Tringali Barn at Heritage Farms, 7310 US Highway 1 South, St. Augustine, FL, United States
Did you know that 90 percent of women want to leave the sex trade, but don’t have access to jobs and a new life? Rethreaded, a local nonprofit that creates jobs for human trafficking survivors, has helped over 64 women in direct employment at their Jacksonville-based company in production, inventory, sales, marketing, and finance as well as 100 women in their preemployment program.
A charity event for Rethreaded will be held on Thursday, November 5th from 5:30pm to 8:30pm at Tringali Barn at Heritage Farms, located at 7310 US Highway 1 South in St. Augustine. Admission is $10 and includes a raffle entry to win two roundtrip tickets on Southwest Airlines. Tringali Barn is sponsoring the event along with MasterCraft Builder Group, Burkhardt Distributing Company, One Twenty Three Burger House, and Carmelo’s Pizzeria. The public is encouraged to come out and support Rethreaded by purchasing their locally-made wares including leather goods, jewelry, and more. There will be complimentary beer, wine, and food on-hand as well as live music. A local, anonymous donor will be matching every dollar raised at the event.
“2020 has been a year that has stretched Rethreaded in all aspects,” explained Kristin Keen, Founder of Rethreaded. “During the pandemic, phone calls to the human trafficking hotline have increased by 40 percent. We made the decision to bring seven new women into Rethreaded back in August despite economic uncertainty. With this awesome party that Chris and his team are throwing, every penny earned will go to ensure that these seven women plus the eight survivors employed before will have everything they need to continue their journey towards healing.”
“I’ve known Kristin for several years now and know how passionate she is related to this mission,” said Chris Shee, owner of Tringali Barn at Heritage Farms. “Rethreaded is widely known in Jacksonville, but not so much in St. Johns County. Part of my mission with Rethreaded is to make sure they get more exposure in St. Johns County so they can not only be more sustainable, but also able to grow and help more women. I’ll continue to host this event for as long as Kristin will allow me.”
ABOUT RETHREADED: Rethreaded takes upcycled materials, such as cotton t-shirts and donated leather airplane seats from Southwest Airlines, and turns them into one-of-a-kind accessories. Each product is handcrafted in Jacksonville, Florida by a survivor of human trafficking. To learn more about Rethreaded and to browse their handmade products, head to rethreaded.com or visit their storefront at 820 Barnett Street in Jacksonville (open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm).

The celebration will take place from 5-8 p.m., and will feature vendors such as Mimosas Braid Bar, STA Events, Chic Booth, Perfect Pour, balloon installations from Old City Occasions, desserts by Sweet Weddings and a variety of giveaways and prizes from local businesses. The celebration is open to the public, and brides and wedding vendors are encouraged to attend.
Each attendee will receive a ticket to win a giveaway basket, and will have the opportunity to purchase additional raffle tickets for $1 or through bringing in items for donation, such as a pet toy, blanket, or pet food. All proceeds raised will be donated to a local animal charity.
Offering a local, luxury boutique wedding dress experience in the heart of St. Augustine, Tebault Bridal is the brainchild of local resident Kristen Tebault. When she was planning her own wedding, she noticed a need for a bridal boutique in her hometown that could serve both local, regional and destination brides alike.
“It was always in the back of my mind that I wanted to have a boutique of some sort, but it was through our wedding experience that I became obsessed with the bridal industry,” Tebault said.
After eight years as a small animal veterinarian – the most recent within an emergency animal hospital setting – Tebault needed a change. Though her prior work was rewarding, the high-stress and many times heart-breaking aspects of her job began taking its toll. After saying “I do”, a new opportunity presented itself. She began conducting market research and meeting bridal shop owners throughout the U.S., and developed a keen eye for exactly what she wanted to offer St. Augustine brides.
“I want walking into the boutique to be a first-class experience, whether you are buying a $1,000 dress or a $10,000 dress,” Tebault said. “It’s important to create that special experience. It’s not just shopping for a dress – it’s a moment in your life that you want to do over and over.”
Tebault Bridal envelops a classic, timeless elegance with a modern twist, welcoming patrons in hues of pink and gold. The sparkle of chandeliers compliment bubbly toasts poured once a bride has found “the one.” But the real diamond is the personal experience Tebault gives to every bride before they even walk into the door. Tebault says she envisions every visit to be special and unique, starting with communication over the phone before the appointment to get to know each bride on a personal level.
“I want to create an unforgettable experience,” Tebault said.
Within the first year of being open, Tebault Bridal has been awarded both “Best of the Knot” and a Couples’ Choice Award by Wedding Wire. Accessibility for brides of all budgets is a key factor of Tebault Bridal, as well as high-quality service and products offered. A variety of brands are available within the showroom, including Justin Alexander and their subsets, Maddie Lane, Modeca and more. Veils, jewelry, hair pieces, belts and sashes are also available. Located down 1590 Arapaho Ave off US1, Tebault Bridal additionally offers unparalleled views of the coastal St. Augustine marsh that can be viewed through large windows within the bridal suites.
