If you’ve ever spent any time in Atlanta during the summer you know that it is unbearably hot. One of the main reasons for the temperature is lack of tree cover. Trees Atlanta is doing their best to return the city of Atlanta to it’s green past by planting more trees. The organization has partnered with Atlanta lifestyle brand The Honorary Citizen (THC) in an inventive program where proceeds from select THC purchases go to support Trees Atlanta.
The program continues through Georgia Arbor Day on February 17, 2012

No question D. Rose is one of the most exciting players Chicago has seen since Jordan’s legendary reign over the league back in the day. The 23 year old point guard has led his team (of equally young players) to the playoffs every year since he was drafted in 2008. Is it the shoes? Is it the shoes? Maybe. Maybe not, but they must help things. Rose debuted the latest version of his adidas adizero sneakers recently. The Rose 2.5s are said to be “the lightest signature basketball shoe Derrick has ever worn to give him next level speed and support.”

If you are a fan of the NFL, then you are definitely familiar with perennial All-Pro Tight End Vernon Davis’ exploits on the field. What you may not know is that he is just as much of a superstar off of the gridiron. For several years, Davis has given back to his native Washington D.C. and in 2010 he and his brother, Miami Dolphins DB Vontae Davis started the Davis Family Foundation.
Vernon’s latest philanthropic project takes the fashion route. He has teamed up with streetwear brand Akomplice and Young Audiences Arts for Learning and Starkey Hearing Foundation to impact the youth of America and Africa. 50% of the proceeds from the purchase of the white t-shirt featuring a stylized photographic image of Vernon Davis shot by award-winning photographer Tim Mantoani will go to Young Audiences Arts for Learning. Purchase of every black t-shirt will provide a child in Africa with a t-shirt, to be distributed by the Starkey Hearing Foundation.
Both t-shrits retail for $30 and are currently available online at Akomplice’s web store and Vernondavis.tv as well as select retail outlets.
