They’ve taken the idea behind a “Gifting Suite” - where celebrities,
VIPs, and trendsetters get handed bags of free stuff - and changed it
to a Giving
Suite
, where those folks can purchase products like our eco-certified
Fair Trade soccer balls
with all the profits going to
charity. Their tagline says it all: Giving. It’s the New Getting.

The charities featured this year are The Waterkeeper Alliance,
Earth Pledge, The Environmental Media Association, Healthy
Child/Healthy World, Our Future Now, The United Nations HCR,
and the favorite of Fair Trade Sports…Room to

.

The concept was created by class="st"> Joe and Amy Tomlinson, the owners
of RE:VOLVE
Apparel Project
and executed by Mathew Gerson’s crew at eConsciousMarket.
What a brilliant idea. We’re stoked to be a part of it.
