ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION FROM SALES OF THEIR EXCLUSIVE LINE, AWEARNESS KENNETH COLE
TORONTO, Nov. 11, 2016 /CNW/ -- Moores Clothing for Men and Kenneth Cole Productions launched the "AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole" collection in November 2015 with the mission to create tailored clothing so the modern man can "look good, for good." This Remembrance Day, Moores and Kenneth Cole Productions are proud to announce that the "AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole" collection generated over $155,000 in donations over a 12 month period to support True Patriot Love Foundation and their mission to assist Canadian military Veterans. "Our efforts to build a product line synonymous with a charitable give back have been successful. We see this initiative as part of our continued company-wide goal of giving back to the communities in which we serve," says Richard Bull, Vice President of Merchandising at Moores.
Since the launch of the collection, a one percent contribution from all gross sales of "AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole" products sold exclusively at Moores have been allocated towards this charity. "This collection was created to continue our ongoing initiative to raise social awareness around the Canadian Military Veteran population and their transition into the civilian workforce," said Kenneth Cole, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Kenneth Cole Productions. "We look forward to the continued success of the AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole line and to continue to support our charitable partner."
The benefitting charity partnering in this mission has a strong history supporting Veterans. True Patriot Love Foundation is a national charity that honours the sacrifices of members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans and their families in both times of peace and conflict. Among many other programs, True Patriot Love Foundation pairs injured soldiers with Canadian business leaders on ambitious expeditions to profile our soldiers' perseverance and continued commitment to service, as well as the transferability of their military skills to a civilian career. On November 10, Moores Clothing for Men was proud to present Bronwen Evans, CEO of True Patriot Love Foundation with their donation check at an intimate ceremony hosted at the Moores flagship store in downtown Toronto.
