Good Work(s) is kicking off 2013 with a fresh vision and new ideas for the upcoming year. These upcoming months are huge for us– not only are we expanding our reach slowly across the nation, but we have set our sights on planning larger, grander charitable projects. Exciting times! We are happy to announce that our charitable campaign for this year is “Tools for School”– an ambitious goal inspired to provide backpacks and school supplies for 10,000 low-income students across the nation. I know for our founder, Helena Cho, this goal is very near and dear to her– as a mother, she personally understands the importance a good education can have on the development of children. Speaking for the team at Good Work(s), we are also very enthusiastic about the prospect of helping our young neighbors, family and friends achieve and do well in class. With the support of Good Work(s) fans and friends, I know that we will continue the tradition of giving and positive energy that our brand stands for. Throughout the year, we hope to bring you updates about our campaign, and give you an inside look into the charity events we organize. You’ll also get a sneak peek of new additions to our collection, along with pictures of the new celeb supporters we gain along the way. Here’s to an amazing year!Read MoreThank you for allowing us to reward students for their extracurricular achievements!
