Last December, Chicharon Adventures collaborated with a charity in the Philippines called Bukid Kabataan (meaning Children's Farm). Abandoned or orphaned children--ages ranging from 6-16--seek help from the shelter that operates on donations alone. So we launched the Buy 1, Give 1 campaign wherein a child at the center would receive the LOVE.LIFE.HOPE t-shirt every time you bought the LOVE.LIFE.HOPE t-shirt. Before sending off the t-shirts, we heard that the charity was in need of monetary help. They have been trying to complete a construction project, but haven't been able to do so. With the sales of the charity tee, we sent them something to help in the completion of their fencing project. Today, we received an email from Bukid Kabataan saying that with our help, the project is almost finished much to the delight of the children (and us). So, thanks to all those who have purchased the LOVE.LIFE.HOPE tee. And please keep spreading the word.
Last night we were hanging out at the mezzanine of The Standard hotel, celebrating our friend Jamie's bday and the launch of her site, Inrsole. The setup:

Tomorrow the CA Team will be at the official Inrsole.com launch party at The Standard, Los Angeles. To celebrate the occasion, we printed exclusive tees for the event. If you're one of the few 20 in line, you'll get one.
Online boutique store/online magazine, Inrsole, is finally launching this Saturday. To celebrate, they will be throwing a partaay in Downtown Los Angeles at the beautiful Standard hotel. Owner Jamie Cruz has done a great job planning this event so that guests truly understand the heart of Inrsole: music, art, and fashion. She has carefully selected DJs, independent artists, and grassroots brands. The latter is where we come in. Chicharon Adventures will be celebrating; most of the team will be in attendance, and we'll be giving away exclusive collab tees in the gift bag. We have all been exposed to female dominated brands like Married to the Mob, Hellz Bellz, and Mama Clothing. Inrsole will join the likes of these names. Not necessarily as a brand, but as a force in streetwear culture. Oh yeah, Chicharon Adventures will, too.
