Kassie Rempel, Heidi Kallett and Stephanie Fornash Kennedy - all three business owners of boutique shops in The Shops at Georgetown Park - joined forces on Saturday to help raise money for Courage for Kids, a nonprofit group that donates school supplies and backpacks to rising kindergartners in Washington.

Rempel owns a shoe store, SimplySoles; Kallet owns a stationery and gift shop, The Dandelion Patch; and Fornash Kennedy owns a boutique clothing and jewelry store, Fornash. All three shops are located on the second level of The Shops at Georgetown Park mall on M Street.

They've dubbed themselves the Georgetown "Angels," a play on the popular 1970s show, "Charlie's Angels," because Rempel is red-headed, Kallett is blonde and Fornash Kennedy is a dark brunette. They hope the moniker will raise awareness of their business presence inside the mall, which, in recent years, has faced financial hardships.

One-hundred percent of the proceeds of Saturday's raffle will be donated to Courage for Kids. Andrea Rodgers, president of the non-profit, said donations may also be made through the organization's website, www.courageforkids.org.

I had a good time! I'm glad I know about your cute stores inside the mall now - in fact, I couldn't resist buying one of those pink Lilly grocery bags on my way out!
