Coats that Comfort
Every year with the chill of the winter months approaching many adults and children of Central Ohio find themselves struggling to afford the basic necessity of proper cold-weather attire. Phenology Premium Soft Goods and Repertoire PR + Marketing Collective have joined forces with the Salvation Army, to host the Coats that Comfort Annual Coat Drive.
Coats that Comfort was created by the eco friendly streetwear label and fashion stylist/brand strategist to help these individuals through collecting, sorting and distributing donations of new and gently used coats.
This year's coat drive raised over 3400 coat donations.

Supplied 4 Success
Supplied 4 Success is a not-for-profit school supply drive and giveaway created to benefit school-aged children of need that are primarily located in the Franklin County area. Organized and presented by ColumbusUrbanLife.com, Repertoire PR & Marketing Collective, The Promise Foundation, Phenology Clothing & J-Work Limited. "Supplied 4 Success" will take 100% of the monetary and supply donations received from local business owners, organizations, and individuals to purchase & distribute book bags filled with the basic essentials that the children will need to begin a successful school-year.
The organizers of "Supplied 4 Success" recognized that there is a great need in the community for the children to have the basic essentials needed to succeed in the classroom starting Day One of the 2009-2010 school year. With the economy still suffering, parents and teachers are stretching their resources to the max just to provide children with the educational and life necessities they need to compete with those students and schools that receive more funding. We wanted to do our part to make sure that every child is equipped with the tools they need to start school with a "come to learn, equipped to succeed" attitude.
This year's drive gave over 300 kids bookbags to start the school year of right! For more information visit: http://www.supplied4success.com
