in. Timi wanted to share a unique shopping experience with her friends and soon began organizing clothes swaps with the same open-closet policy she had with her sisters. She always considered her swaps to be like a special boutique where her guests would not know what treasures were awaiting them. At the end of every clothes swap, she always donated the extra items to a local charity. In the the fall of 2013, Timi wanted to add even more philanthropy to her swaps. Although she knew little about the process, she felt called to start a non-profit organization. After brainstorming with her sisters for the perfect name, Timi decided on the name Style Lottery for her new non-profit. Style Lottery combines Timi’s love of fashion with her desire to uplift young women in the community. Style Lottery, through nominations from community members, selects hardworking young women from low-income communities and surprises them with the gift of a free shopping spree.
