where beauty meets purposes
ArmCandy for a Cause is a philanthropic initiative founded by Oriana LaMarca and Catherine LaMarca to bring hope to those who face life’s greatest battles with courage.
Compassion, Worn with Intention
What began as an intimate holiday gathering of women who believed in giving back has grown into a meaningful movement.
ArmCandy for a Cause brings together community, design, and generosity to support organizations dedicated to families and individuals fighting illness and hardship.
Because luxury is not only about what we surround ourselves with —
it is about how we show up for others.
“Together, with compassion, we can make them feel loved in ways they never knew possible.”
ABOUT OUR ANNUAL EVENT
Our mission is to bring Hope to those who have the Courage to fight every day. Because together, with a little Compassion, we can make them feel Loved in a way they never knew possible. Never lose Faith.
In 2015, we launched our Holiday Shopping Soirée & Fundraiser with a vision: to bring our community together, giving customers the opportunity to experience our collections firsthand while supporting a meaningful cause close to our hearts.
What began as an intimate gathering has since grown into a celebrated annual event featuring celebrity guests, live entertainment, curated cocktails — and of course, a red-carpet welcome.
We intentionally host the event in November to usher in the holiday season with purpose. Guests have the opportunity not only to support small businesses, but to give back while gifting beautifully. Each year, we select a charitable organization with a personal connection and donate a portion of proceeds, creating an impact rooted in love,community, and hope.
Our goal is more than fundraising — it’s connection.

Oriana LaMarca
CEO and Founder of Oriana LaMarca Designs, began her business as
what she playfully calls a “shopping addiction” that blossomed into a jewelry brand celebrated for its bold style and heartfelt purpose. What started as a bracelet-making passion in 2015 has grown into a thriving brand built on friendship, trust, and community — where customers become confidants and style becomes a source of confidence and connection.
In the spirit of “Dream, Create, Inspire,” Oriana launched Armcandy For A Cause, creating custom bracelets whose stones and charms honor meaningful organizations and the people behind them. Each bracelet raises awareness and supports individuals and families facing life’s most challenging battles — a mission inspired by the belief that everyone enters our lives for a reason, and kindness can change a journey.
Together, Catherine and Oriana blend timeless design, Sicilian tradition, and heartfelt philanthropy. Their Holiday Soirée is not just a shopping event — it is a celebration of beauty, heritage, and humanity.
Each year, they bring their creative worlds together to support causes close to their hearts, honoring those who inspire courage, compassion, and community.
This event is more than shopping —
it is a celebration of heart, heritage, and hope.
