Sometimes we shop to make ourselves feel good, but what if a little retail therapy could actually DO some good? We’re thrilled to highlight cool finds that are sustainably made or whose proceeds go to a great cause.
Do-Gooder: Activyst
Today is a very exciting day: The women’s ski halfpipe event took place at the Winter Olympics for the first time in the history of the Games.
But today is also bittersweet. Sarah Burke—a Canadian pioneer of the sport who campaigned for its addition to the Olympics and who, after its inclusion was announced in 2011, became a gold-medal favorite—won’t be there. In January 2012, she passed away from injuries sustained during a training run.
Activyst is teaming up with the Sarah Burke Foundation, a nonprofit created in honor of the skier, to sell this tee. It reads, “Dream without fear,” one of Sarah’s favorite sayings, and features her signature. The best part: $10 from the sale of every T-shirt goes to the Foundation to fund the Spirit of Sarah ski scholarship, which helps young girls train to become competitive skiers, just like Sarah.
