Wear for charity: water

This spring, Saks Fifth Avenue will once again partner with charity: water, a non-profit organization that funds freshwater wells in developing nations for as little as $5,000. Last year, Saks raised over $500,000 for the charity, which aided in the construction of over 100 wells that will serve 37,000 people in Central America, India and Africa.

Wet Cement for charity: waterThe exclusive, limited-edition women’s and men’s t-shirts are made my Wet Cement and are available at Saks until June 30th for $40. There are also charity: water black rubber bracelets you can grab for $10. For every tee bought, $35 will be donated to the charity. For every pair of bracelets purchased, 100% of the purchase will be donated.

“We have been extremely impressed with the charity’s ability both to do great things and to show on their website how the money raised through last year’s Saks campaign has led to the construction and completion of individual wells,” said Steve Sadove, Chairman and CEO, Saks Fifth Avenue. “The momentum going into the second year of the campaign is even greater because we’ve already seen the difference our support has made to so many people.”
