Birch Bay Square boutique giving back to teen mothers

A Whatcom County boutique is helping send teen moms to summer camp this year through a Mother’s Day fundraiser. 

Betty Be Good is selling surprise balls, which have four pieces of jewelry inside, to sponsor at least two teen mothers and their children to attend summer camp through Whatcom County YoungLives. The surprise balls retail for $30 and are sold in gold, silver and bronze. Only 40 surprise balls will be sold until Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 14. 

YoungLives, which provides mentorship for pregnant and parenting mothers, is put on through Young Life, a Christian ministry that has youth groups across the U.S. 

Betty Be Good is located in Birch Bay Square and on Front Street in Lynden. The stores also give two percent of profits to sex trafficking survivors living at Engedi Refuge in Lynden to purchase clothing.
