$300,000 Shirts are GOOD?

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

“Donate $300,000, and get a free t-shirt.” My goodness! How inflation has taken its toll. In my day, it was, “Raise $25, and get this free Jump Rope for Heart t-shirt, AND this water bottle, AND this notepad, AND this pencil. Yeah!!” Not anymore. UNICEF has taken the t-shirt fundraiser to a whole new level, where the price of the shirt is the exact cost of the supplies they will provide. Like a $300,000 cargo plane to transport food and aid from the main hub in Copenhagen to Nairobi. Or a shirt for $24.30 that vaccinates 81 children against the measles. There are a dozen shirts with a dozen causes for UNICEF on Threadless. Take a look.

However, with Lanvin‘s irressitibly cute new children’s line and this mini-Benetton-esque ad for H&M‘s All for Children collection, my icy heart is beginning to melt. Slowly.
