Author: www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/enterprise/11580387/How-Toms-made-hundreds-of-millions-of-
dollars-by-giving-shoes-away.html
“Two reasons. First, it raised a boatload of money for the One Fund, the
fund set up for the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing. Nick and
Chris had hoped to sell a couple hundred shirts. Instead they sold over
59,000 tees and raised nearly one million dollars. Second, what Nick
and Chris did with Milwaukee-based Ink for the People is the shape of
cause marketing to come. Do-gooders like Nick and Chris are
Halopreneurs - small time operators that leverage a business platform -
usually temporarily - to raise money for good causes.”
“Tom has demonstrated that it’s possible to
have a social purpose and operates as a
successful business.”
“When you buy coffee you
can support a fund that gives
free coffee to someone who
can't afford to pay.”

Starts with the noise of drinking water and then a slow progression into a voiceover of
Morgan Freeman’s saying “Water, the source of life as we know it. With it, humanity has
thrived and created unimaginable phenomenon. Without it, life would cease to exist. That is
why I choose Poland Spring water because Poland Spring is 100% Natural Spring Water
and with Poland Spring “All For One & One For All” campaign, every Poland Spring
bottle you purchase, a small donation of that purchase will go to their “All For One & One
For All” fund and help those countries in need of water.
