Flex Watches for Disability Awareness and Charity Support
Posted Feb 03 2012 10:46am
Through the Yahoo! Accessibility website I learned about Flex Watches , a site which sells watches in 11 colors. Each color represents a different charity and 10% of their net profits are distributed evenly amongst the charities. They also host marketing campaigns to help raise awareness for the charities. At $30 for a watch (you can mix and match band and face) plus $6 shipping, it seems like a pretty good deal especially to help charities.
The charities are
A blue watch from Flex.
St Bernard Project (orange): to create housing for victims of Hurricane Katrina APDA (yellow): a charity supporting those with Parkinson's disease Be Perfect Foundation (green): assists people with spinal cord injuries Nika Water (blue): involved in ensuring clean water for people in impoverished countries Keep-a-Breast (pink): educates young people about breast cancer awareness First Descents (purple): adventure sports for young adults affected by cancer Imerman Angels (grey): provides mentorship for people affected by cancer Life Rolls On (white): action sports for people affected by spinal cord injuries LHON (black): a charity for people experiencing Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Mariners Outreach (red): assisting the poor in Mexico It's too bad there isn't a deaf charity on the list, but I would definitely support all of these. I think I would probably go for black and green or white.
