Thought I should spread the word on this project that hits close to home, quite literally. I was up in the Bay Area when the California wildfires hit - though I was thankfully not directedly affected by them, it was devastating to pick up the Oakland paper and see the map of the fires practically surround L.A. county and wonder if we were going to be next.

The So-Cal Fire Poster Project has teamed up with a bunch of talented designers and artists to raise funds for victims of the wildfires by selling limited edition posters like the ones above, done by Modern Dog and Rule29. It’s wonderful to see fellow creatives donate their talents towards a good cause.

I don’t really buy into a lot of charity products (pun!), but I really like this one from Marc by Marc Jacobs and Shopbop: the charm bracelet is actually quite attractive and they donate a generous 50% of the $88 to the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization.

Y-ME has also received the four-star charity rating, which “indicates that Y-ME excels, compared to other charities in America, in successfully managing the finances of the organization in an efficient and effective manner.”
