July 29 DKNY

From our fabulous friends at DKNY:

On Wednesday evening, DKNY will be celebrating CITYarts, an organization
that literally provides color to the streets of New York – and to the lives
of New Yorkers. To support this wonderful charity we will have two very
special items available to purchase - the DKNY Chari-Tee and 8 totes
designed by NYC students for CITYarts.

DKNY has designed a tee with a cause, which we call the "Chari-Tee". This
is our way to give back to the city that inspires us. DKNY's Chari-Tee, is
an interactive program between DKNY and those who love and wear it.

DKNY's Chari-Tee retails for $65 and benefits a menu of NYC organizations.
Each hangtag lists five NYC charities to which you can donate. Once you've
decided, log on to dkny.com and select your organization of choice. DKNY
will then donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of your Chari-tee.
It's a fun, cool way to send instant love to NYC.

Below is a list of organizations we are giving back to and a shot of the
Chari-tee.

The Fund for Public Schools
City Harvest
The Doe Fund
The Urban Zen Foundation
and
CITYarts

CITYarts empowers children and youth by bringing them together with
professional artists to create public art that addresses civic and social
issues, impacts their lives and transforms their communities.

In addition to the Chari-tee, DKNY has produced eight different
'eco-friendly printed' totes featuring artwork of eight NYC students,
created for the CITYarts "portraits of peace" initiative. There are 5 of
each style – 40 unique bags in total. The totes were printed using an
eco-friendly digital printing process. The resulting water-based design is
printed without screens or films and utilizes less ink with no excess ink
waste.
The totes are $25 each and all the proceeds go back to CITYarts. The totes
will only be available at the DKNY store on Madison Avenue.

In addition to the Chari-Tee & Totes, we will be giving shoppers a 10%
discount on their purchase PLUS an additional 10% of their purchase will go
to CITYarts!
