Every morning, I wake up to some great links about cause marketing and interesting partnerships between brands and great nonprofits. Here’s a roundup of some stories from across the Web: Love your sliders? Well, White Castle has launched a burger-scented candle…Not sure if I’d want this smell in my house, but your purchase will help benefit Autism Speaks. NBC Chicago Designer Lilly Pulitzer has teamed up with Barnum Animal Crackers to create a limited-edition box [...]
Someone must’ve decided to declare August “Denim Month” because everywhere I turn, the talk is allll about jeans and denim.

If you head over to Barney’s with a denim donation, you will receive 20% off of a new pair of jeans! The denim drive, in partnership with 1% [...]
At BowlHer, there was a great reward awaiting anyone who bowled a strike…A bottle of ONEHOPE chardonnay! While this was music to my ears because I enjoy an occasional (*cough*) glass of wine, I was also thrilled because our particular wine promoted breast cancer awareness. Launched in April 2006, the wine has been building buzz across the country for its flavorful tastes and fundraising efforts. For each bottle purchased, the company donates 50% to a [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I started following Kiehl’s on Twitter (@kiehlsnyc), and noticed every now and then they would donate 100% of sales of any given item to the Waterkeeper Alliance. They called the campaign “10/10/10,” which essentially meant that for 10 days they sold 10 products for only $10 and donated 100% of the sales to the Waterkeeper Alliance, up to $10K. Got it? Well, the 10/10/10 campaign is over, but that doesn’t [...]

How are you affecting the Earth? Ever stopped to think about it…? I do! People always laugh at me because I recycle my water bottles (from the little ones to the gallon ones) and my pop cans, but I don’t unplug my appliances when I leave the house. Or I take my eco-totes to the grocery store to cut back on plastic bags, but will get my coffee in a to-go cup. However, in reference [...]
