Love Your Melon was founded in an entrepreneurship class at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota by two friends, Zachary and Brian. They wanted to start a business with a meaningful and positive social impact. Since October 2012 they have been on a mission to put a hat on every child battling cancer in America. After achieving the original goal, they set a new goal of giving one million dollars to pediatric cancer research and providing immediate support to children and their families. To date, they have given over 6.5 million dollars to the fight against pediatric cancer and over 180,000 hats to children battling cancer. 50% of their net profit from the sale of all Love Your Melon products is now given to support charitable programming through the Love Your Melon Fund and the nonprofits they support. They have endless hat designs and color combinations…so check them out this winter!
The name Bombas is derived from the Latin word for bumblebee. Bees live in a hive and work together to make their world a better place. They’re small, but their combined actions have a big impact on the world. Bombas liked that and that’s why their mantra is bee better. When they first learned socks were the most requested clothing item in homeless shelters, they knew they had to do something. They started Bombas to make an impact on their community by donating a pair of socks for every pair they sold, and continue that philosophy of thoughtful giving towards each clothing item they make. No matter what it is, one purchased = one donated. To date they’ve donated over 25 million pairs!
Play has a powerful effect on children and families, especially for those who find themselves in difficult circumstances during the holidays. Together we can make the season brighter for 1,000,000 children around the world. Lego is asking you to visit a participating store or use your LEGO® bricks at home to build a fun holiday ornament. When you display it in-store or share it online with #BuildtoGive, they will donate a LEGO set to a child in need of play. So while this isn’t technically giving a gift that gives back…it’s a way to give a gift simply by building with the LEGOs you already own!
