It appears my Shakespeare class is good for more than just discussing plays and character foils. Yesterday, a fellow classmate had received a package in the mail & was showing it off to another person in the class. The class only has twelve people in it, so it's hard not to overhear. I asked her about the package when she mentioned it had to do with a charity.
As it turns out, the package contained an awesome t-shirt, and that tee came from Sevenly, a company whose mission is to generate awareness and capital for some of the biggest global causes.
Similar to Yellow Bird Project, Sevenly prints graphics submitted by passionate individuals who strive to improve the lives of humanity. How is Sevenly different? They team up with 52 charities in one year, and have a new t-shirt campaign each week. From planting 3 trees and 4 edible crops for families in Haiti, to providing one day of medical care and food for girls rescued from the sex trade, the profits from the sale of each shirt are contributed to providing significant aid to individuals and families in desperate need.
One thing remains the same: you get a sweet shirt & contribute to making this world we share a better place.
To learn more about Sevenly, read their mission statement, or view their current campaign, check out their website: http://sevenly.org/
Whether it's buying a shirt, or volunteering in your own back yard, you can impact the lives of those in need.
Do Some Good out there!
