I love when great brands like Warby Parker team up with amazing causes. I wanted to let you know about the launch that they had earlier this morning letting everyone know they are working with a great organization. The organization is called Donors Choose it’s a nonprofit organization that allows people like you to fund classroom projects across the country. There’s no bureaucracy and no red tape: just simple ways to change lives. How amazing is that!? Warby Parker is an eyewear company that strives to offer boutique-quality and classically crafted eyewear at lower prices!
When I heard Mindy Kaling was involved I was pretty excited, she is always involved in pretty cool projects. Just in case you do not know who she is, Mindy Kaling from the hit NBC TV show The Office and more recently The Mindy Project.
You can see Charles and Mindy are wearing the new Gardner Sunglasses.
From Warby Parker:
Both Warby Parker and DonorsChoose.org are steeped in the idea of empowering consumers to make smart choices for a larger purpose. With this in mind, we designed one of our most flattering sunglasses yet, the Gardner. The angular shape—detailed with a school bus yellow-inspired line—universally suits teachers’ pets, playground rascals, and even comedy writers, like DonorsChoose.org supporter Mindy Kaling.
Kaling first donated after soliciting charity suggestions on Twitter to celebrate her birthday. DonorsChoose.org caught her eye because, she says, “You’re making an impact directly to a small group of people and really tangibly and quickly changing their lives. You don’t have the feeling like ‘Oh, I want to help, but there’s so much bureaucratic stuff between me and actually helping.’”
With every $95 frame purchased from this collaboration, they providing a $30 Donor’s Choose gift card so the purchaser (or gift recipient) can donate to their favorite project. And as always, for every pair of glasses sold, Warby Parker distributes a pair to someone in need. Just this month they actually reached a huge milestone when they announced that they distributed over half a million pairs since their inception! How cool is that!
A little but more about DonorsChoose.org
CEO and former teacher Charles Best founded DonorsChoose.org to help public school teachers across America crowdsource materials for their classrooms. They were among the first to connect individuals with donors through the power of the internet, and their innovative approach to doing good inspires us every day
This collaboration launches TODAY on WarbyParker.com. If you’re looking for sunglasses, look no further, and check them out here.
