Through charity events, celebrities and major corporations come together to lend a helping hand to disaster-stricken areas.
The featured collection revolves around the help that places like Haiti have been attaining from charitable products and auctions. From unique graphic tees to hilarious advertisements, these features will provide you with an outlook on how one person can make a difference.
Implications - Though auctions were always effective when it came to raising money for charitable events, companies are now looking for other, more creative methods to gather funds for aid organizations. Using celebrity endorsements, linking charitable organizations to pop culture and connecting charity to fashion are just a few ways that businesses have come up with to make donating that much easier.
