Help Prevent the Spread of Malaria. Buy a net. Save a Life.
Every thirty seconds a child dies in Africa from Malaria. A million people die unnecessarily each year. Anti-malaria bed nets are the most effective method of preventing this deadly disease. A family can be kept safe sleeping under a bed net for four years! These nets cost only $10, but the families that need them are surviving on less than one dollar a day.

We have joined the fundraising team, "Namaste for Nets", which was established by one of the showrooms we work with, Namaste Showroom. This team is part of "Nothing But Nets", a global, grassroots campaign started in conjunction with the United Nations Foundation. 100% of the money raised goes directly to purchasing, transporting and explaining the use of these life-saving, insecticide treated bednets to families in Africa who need them. In addition, Bill and Melinda Gates will match all donations, dollar-to-dollar.

We need your help! Please take some to time to visit www.NothingButNets.net, where you can sponsor the Namaste for Nets team and make an online donation directly. Any amount is greatly appreciated!

Livewear–sale of "not a wifebeater" tanks:
Liveawear is a nonprofit organization founded in 2005. It is dedicated to inspiring activism and building awareness to prevent partner abuse. Partner violence is a leading cause of death for women in the United States. Each day three women are killed by their intimate partners. The liveawear "not a wifebeater" campaign has set out to remove the term "wifebeater" from the fashion vernacular when referring to a tank top. A "wifebeater" is a person who physically and emotionally abuses his or her partner, not a tank top.

In this campaign, liveawear has teamed up with Splendid, one of our basic lines, to help launch and promote this powerful fashion statement. The campaign's mission is to raise awareness about relationship abuse, and return the term "wifebeater" to its true meaning.

Sara benjamin's is backing this important campaign. All the net proceeds of each "not a wifebeater" tank purchase go directly to liveawear. These shirts are available for both men and women.

To purchase a "not a wifebeater" tank call or visit sara benjamin's (513-272-2280). For more information about liveawear visit their website at www.liveawear.com. Or to help or get help, you can reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

"The missions of Alternative Motive is to incite individuals to wear ones value on his or her chest - to venture away from the mainstream and express ones thoughts passionately, concisely, and peacefully in an artful form. Alternative Motive represents an intellectual revolution silent - but powerful. It is the time to "advertise" positive beliefs and behaviors, important issues and proactiveness in a simple, spirited style. Speak your beautiful mind without saying a word.

As a good conscience company, Alternative Motive operationalizes this mission in several ways: by bringing important issues and goodwill to the forefront of people's everyday lives, by subsidizing the efforts of non-profits undertaking important work in diverse communities, and by only doing business with socially responsible vendors."
