Miss Do-Gooder Fights to Turn the Page on Illiteracy with Hot New Tee
Second T-shirt in Philanthropic Fashion Line Raises Money for Leading Literacy Charity First Book.
San Francisco, CA, December 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Miss Do-Gooder, the San Francisco-based fashion and philanthropy company, has launched a stylish new T-shirt that will raise money for First Book, a leading literacy organization that provides new books to children in need across the United States and Canada. Featuring the second appearance of spunky young superhero Miss Do-Gooder atop a pile of books, the cute new “Miss Do-Gooder Fights Illiteracy” shirts are made from premium American Apparel clothing. Each shirt sold will raise $2.50 for First Book – which equates to one new book for a disadvantaged child. The T-shirts are available at www.missdogooder.com and cost $25.00 plus tax and shipping.
The literacy T-shirt is the second in a series of shirts and other fashion designs that raise funds and awareness for organizations leading the fight against social injustices and inequality. The first T-shirt, “Miss Do-Gooder Fights Animal Cruelty,” raised money for the ASPCA, while future designs will address issues such as intolerance, domestic abuse, unfair trade, AIDS and – in time for Earth Day 2009 – global warming.
“Literacy is essential for self-confidence and economic security,” said Susan Wildes, founder and chief do-gooder at Miss Do-Gooder. “By raising money for as reputable and important a charity as First Book, Miss Do-Gooder is bringing her feisty blend of hip and hope to a fight that we simply can’t afford to ignore.”
Kyle Zimmer, president and co-founder of First Book, said: “We are thrilled to join Miss Do-Gooder on this effort and hope that consumers love this adorable young superhero as much as we do. By purchasing a “Miss Do-Gooder Fights Illiteracy” shirt, individuals can help children everywhere become reading superheroes by providing them with a new book of their very own from First Book.”
