Through its new "Selfies Save the World" program, Stylinity will donate 25 percent of net profits from any resulting purchases from The Pink Agenda-tagged selfies. In addition, $2 from every specially-designed Selfie Stage™ sold will be donated to the organization, and supporters can "Donate Now" on the dedicated SelfiesSaveTheWorld.com website or via a button on any The Pink Agenda-tagged selfie.
"Selfies sometimes get a bad rep. But, with Stylinity and the newly-launched Selfies Save the World campaign, we're excited to show that they're simply a form of self-expression, capturing moments of our lives, and that includes supporting the greater good," said Tadd Spering, CEO of Stylinity. "The new program combines social commerce and social good, and allows people to shop, snap and share their way to a better world."
"The Pink Agenda is pleased to be the premier philanthropy partner for Stylinity's 'Selfies Save the World' platform," says Samantha Golkin, breast cancer survivor, activist and Board Member of The Pink Agenda. "We are thankful to kick-off this innovative program to help us raise money, raise awareness and raise hell to help women with breast cancer this holiday season."
