| I WANT YOU… YOU'RE SO REPEALING (DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL). - KENNETH COLE
In celebration of Gay Pride month, AWEARNESS The Kenneth Cole Foundation, is continuing its partnership with The Human Rights Campaign, the largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. This year Kenneth Cole designed a limited edition t-shirt: WE WANT YOU… YOU'RE SO REPEALING. (DON'T ASK. DON'T TELL).
In response to President Obama's pledge to work with Congress and the military to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," The Human Rights Campaign has launched a national campaign to organize veterans, generate media coverage and target key states that will be critical to repeal the discriminatory law. Kenneth Cole's AWEARNESS is honored to partner again with The Human Rights Campaign and repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
The limited edition T-shirt will be sold at Kenneth Cole New York stores nationwide as well as Kennethcole.com and hrc.org. The shirt retails for $35.00 with 100% of net proceeds going to the AWEARNESS FUND and HRC.
In addition Kenneth Cole New York will host events in five cities, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and South Beach, during Gay Pride Week, where 20% of the evening's proceeds will be donated to The Human Rights Campaign. Dates and location as follows:
