Giving.

Tis the season, right???

I thought I might take a few minutes to discuss who myHERObag will be giving to this holiday season (and all through 2008). The company has an established history of donating to Homes for our Troops which we're proud to be continuing, but I'd also like to step things up a notch.

The causes myHERObag is dedicated to supporting, can be divided into three categories - Education, the Environment, and supporting America and those who fight to defend it.

Now we've joined an Organization called One Percent for the Planet who's members pledge to donate at least 1% of their gross sales (not profit, not after any deductions, 1% of every dollar that comes in the door) to environmental organizations.

While I can't find an organization which will certify the same for our other two causes - we're making the pledge -

1% for the Planet
1% for Education
1% for America

That's myHERObag's commitment to you, our customers, and to our community.

Everyone at myHERObag is given a wonderful gift when you put your faith in us to take your memories and turn them into truly memorable bags. We consider the company's donations to be one opportunity we have to say Thank You, for letting us into your lives.


Over the next week I'll be highlighting some of the non-profit organizations that have been chosen within each of these categories to receive our support over the coming year, starting with Homes for our Troops.

I can only hope the gifts you give this holiday season will bring you as much joy as myHERObag's brings us.
