I’m always inspired by how quick everyone is to become a part of the Social Enterprise movement, it just reaffirms my core belief that EVERYONE wants to do something that matters.  Creative Recreation and Shiekh Shoe’s did just that with our latest collaboration, This Shoe Helps.  The shoes are in dozens of stores and 100% of the proceeds are going toward basic human rights advancements in the form of international school and clean water projects.   Check out the video and pics below, and more pics, info and video coming soon!

We had the pleasure of working with the Holden Outerwear crew (thanks Mikey and Ben!) on an awesome collaboration for their fall tees (ALL OF THEM!) to help educate through our partner organization Pencils of Promise.  Check out Mikey Le Blanc explain in the video below!

Last year you may recall our skydiving fundraiser, 18for18, where we attempted to raise $18,000 by jumping out of a plane at 18,000 feet.  It didn’t work though.  We raised $38,000 instead!  So this year, why not double up?  Serinda worked her magic and organized TWO teams of do gooders, one in the original Santa Barbara Sky Dive location and the other in Vancouver, BC.  And guess what?  It didn’t work again!  This time it was $78,000.  Join us next year?!

Thanks Maker Studios for the awesome Maker Presents interview and Video!

Our amazing actress and activist friend, Serinda Swan, was up to some more awesomeness last week, this time working in Nairobi, Kenya and at the Kakuma refugee camp on the South Sudanese border with Nothing But Nets and the UN Foundation.  She was, of course, rocking some This Shirt Helps gear throughout the mission ; )  Here’s some photo’s and a link to her awesome foundation’s, Friends to Mankind, website where you can read her travel journal for the full story.

Thanks Serinda for all you do, always inspiring!

Here’s some footage from last year when we had the honor while in Batimat, Haiti to speak to a cholera survivor (unfortunately she still lost her vision from the experience) about the importance of clean water…  Why we love working with Waves4Water!

Here’s the link and video from the interview with Dwight Peters from Quarter Waters.  Thanks Dwight!

From Dwight..  ”Social Entrepreneur Joe Huff talks issue, impact and business tips with us. He speaks on the inspiration behind http://www.ThisShirtHelps.com, how he made his transition from his former job to his current one and shares great advice for aspiring social entrepreneurs.”

This past friday This Shirt Helps sponsored a joint birthday celebration for TSH’s very own Joe Huff (Director of Positivity) and Aaron Barker (Agent of Positivity). The event was titled This Birthday Helps and was held in philanthropic fashion as a fundraiser benefitting the non-profit organization Pencils of Promise . The event was held at a wonderful venue in Los Angeles named the Writers Room, and was attended by a youthful and influencial crowd including many notable names such as Sophia Bush, Olivia Wilde, and Wilmer Valderrama. By the end of the evening there was enough love donated that we will be able to provide 85 children with 1 entire year of school. Thank you to all who attended and suported!
