A Decade of Care: Hanes Launches 10th National Sock Drive to Help the Homeless; Tops 3 Million Donated Pairs

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., November 22, 2019 /3BL Media/ – Small gifts often have the most meaning.

For the millions of people living homeless, a clean pair of socks is often described as “the gift of humanity.” Hanes, America’s No. 1 basic apparel, underwear and sock brand, is partnering with organizations fighting homelessness nationwide to deliver comfort to those who need it most through the Hanes National Sock Drive. The brand is marking 10 years of helping provide care and compassion during this year’s drive by:

Donating more than 250,000 pairs of socks directly to organizations fighting homelessness in all 50 states, along with Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Since the program’s inception in 2009, Hanes has provided more than 3 million pairs of socks – one of the most requested items by relief agencies – to help the homeless.

Giving an additional pair of socks for every order of any apparel placed in December on Hanes.com. Socks will be provided to local homeless shelters.

Partnering with Rainier Fruit Company for its second “Pears for Pairs” campaign, which is currently running in United Supermarkets, Harris Teeter, Wegmans, and Lunds & Byerlys stores. From late September through January, Rainier is donating a portion of the proceeds from bulk and bagged pear sales to the Hanes National Sock Drive. In 2018, the Pears for Pairs campaign resulted in 20,000 pairs of socks being donated to five nonprofits.

Offering consumers the opportunity to participate directly in the program by visiting www.hanes.com/donate to gift socks ($1), women’s underwear ($1), men’s underwear ($1.50) and bras ($6) that will be distributed in needed styles and sizes.

Continuing its 10-year collaboration with Invisible People and its founder, Mark Horvath, to help raise awareness about homelessness. Invisible People uses innovative storytelling, educational resources and advocacy to help change how the public views homelessness and those living homeless in the United States and abroad.

“Most of us take basic apparel for granted, but we know a new, clean pair of socks can mean a lot to those experiencing homelessness,” said Sidney Falken, chief branding officer, HanesBrands. “We are committed to bringing a little comfort to those who need it most – and it is incredibly gratifying to have others, including many individuals across the country, join us in this effort.”

More than 100 agencies, including The Salvation Army Bell Shelter (Bell, California), Homeward Bound (Asheville, North Carolina) and Compassion Outreach Ministries (Columbus, Ohio), have received sock donations from Hanes.

“Small things really do make a big difference to our clients,” said Steve Lytle, director of The Salvation Army Bell Shelter. “The smile on a client’s face when she received a clean pair of socks for the first time in months was priceless. There was joy in her eyes and it was clear that the socks were the most precious gift she could have received in that moment. Another client said his gift of clean socks was a sign that there are people who care and that his life did matter.”

Homeward Bound distributes more than 2,000 pairs of socks a month to those living homeless.

“Homelessness is a community problem and it will take everyone’s support to help end the epidemic,” said Ashley Campbell, the agency’s outreach specialist. “Right now, some of your neighbors are living outside, in tents and under bridges, vulnerable to inclement weather and violence, stripped of dignity and our collective respect.

“There are so many ways to help,” Campbell continued. “Educate yourself about homelessness in your community, volunteer at your local agency fighting this issue or simply make a donation that would help a nonprofit save its limited resources.”

Jeffrey Tabor, director of TWO Men’s Ministry House for Compassion Outreach Ministries of Ohio, added that there is no donation too small to be used for good to fulfill a basic human need.

“Imagine the importance of just one pair of socks when you are focused on keeping your feet dry and warm during the cold winter months,” Tabor said. “That’s why we are so thankful for our partnership with Hanes, which has fulfilled an immediate, basic human need for so many people.”

Lytle underscores, however, that sometimes it all boils down to human contact. “Acknowledge people who are experiencing homelessness with a smile or hello,” he said. “By engaging with a person who is experiencing homelessness we are saying ‘I see you and you matter.’”

The Hanes National Sock Drive is part of Hanes for Good, the corporate responsibility program of Hanes’ parent company, HanesBrands (NYSE:HBI).

10 To Watch : Mayor’s Edition 82619

RICK HORROW’S TOP 10 SPORTS/BIZ/TECH/PHILANTHROPY ISSUES FOR THE WEEK OF AUGUST 26 : MAYOR’S EDITION with Jacob Aere

The XFL unveiled the names and logos for the eight teams that will make up the rebooted league's first season when it begins play next February. The eight teams will be the Dallas Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, L.A. Wildcats, New York Guardians, St. Louis BattleHawks, Seattle Dragons, Tampa Bay Vipers, and DC Defenders. The names and logos of the eight XFL teams "make clear" what league Founder Vince McMahon has "emphasized from the beginning: Version 2.0 will be a lot less gimmicky and a lot more conservative than the original model," according to the Washington Times. DC Defenders President Erik Moses said, "With Vince McMahon's vision and genius in marketing, and the resources he has graciously provided us, if we can't get spring football to work, then it doesn't work." On Saturday, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck shocked the pro football world when he abruptly announced his retirement from football at age 29. XFL Commissioner and Sport Business Handbook contributor Oliver Luck is the father of the NFL standout and Stanford grad. Don’t be surprised to see Andrew Luck joining the XFL in some business capacity.

Ahead of the U.S. Open, Naomi Osaka has signed new marketing deals with BodyArmor, performance recovery brand Hyperice, and headphone company Muzik. Osaka “received equity stakes in all three emerging companies," according to Forbes. Muzik on Friday released a new headphone designed by Osaka that marks the "first celebrity signature line for the company." She will "receive royalties on the product, in addition to her equity stake." Meanwhile, Hyperice last week "launched marketing campaigns in Japan and the U.S. featuring Osaka as part of a multi-year deal." Osaka is "expected to be one of the faces" of the 2020 Tokyo Games due to her Japanese heritage, and Hyperice is "already mapping out marketing plans around the Games." Despite the new additions to her growing portfolio, no company is as "important to Osaka's brand and bank account as Nike." The apparel giant has unveiled a "collaboration with Japanese designer brand Sacai for an 11-piece collection,” and Osaka will have her "own Nike logo and athleisure line starting in 2020." Osaka also told Forbes that she is working on a project with LeBron James and his business partner Maverick Carter.

Sunday saw the FedEx Cup season come to a conclusion when the Tour Championship crowned Rory McIlroy, who earned $15 million for the win. Mike McCarley, NBC Sports Group President, Golf, talked to Cynopsis Sports about the playoffs and the year ahead. On measuring success: “The PGA Tour’s playoff system is now 12 years old and the true success of the new schedule and format should be measured over the next decade or more.” On the Playoffs: “Several years ago, we met with the Tour, East Lake Golf Club, and several sponsors: FedEx, Coke, and Southern Co. and discussed how to build this championship into what we all believed it could be. Out of that meeting, came our focus on expanding this week.” On golf’s schedule shift: “All of the changes to the golf schedule [were] designed to have the Playoffs culminate before football season. The fall becomes a showcase for the sport’s global nature with events worldwide with PGA Tour and LPGA’s swings in Asia, as well as marquee team events with the U.S. women looking to defend the Solheim Cup and the Tiger Woods captained U.S. team defending the Presidents Cup in Australia.”

Super Bowl LIV to cost Miami-Dade municipalities nearly $20 million. Super Bowl LIV will cost three of Miami-Dade County's largest municipal governments nearly $20 million over time, as local governments have "spent or plan to commit" more than $15 million in "cash contributions to the host committee, security bills, municipal fee waivers and partial payments for parks improvements," according to the Miami Herald. The "costs of football fields and lighting improvements to Miami’s waterfront are being split between the NFL and government agencies." However, Miami-Dade County will pay another $4 million to the Dolphins for "attracting the game." Miami's Downtown Development Authority "plans to cover half of the $600,000 price tag for permanent LED lighting on the Baywalk" to accompany the "Super Bowl Live" attraction, while the NFL has "agreed to pay the other half." The bulk of Miami Beach's expenses associated with the game "are coming in the form of fee waivers" totaling $1.2 million. The city also is putting $350,000 toward a new $1 million football field for Rick’s alma mater Miami Beach Senior High School, an expense to be "split with the league and school district.”

MLS formally announces St. Louis as home to the league's 28th team. MLS Commissioner Don Garber, members of the St. Louis ownership group, and St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson last Tuesday shared in the announcement that the club is expected to begin play in 2022, according to SoccerAmerica. From a business standpoint, this is "really, really good for the city," as it is "essentially a major corporation moving to downtown." The St. Louis expansion franchise is the first in the league to have female majority ownership. The team will play in a new stadium in St. Louis’ Downtown West district that will feature 22,500 seats, each of which will be within 120 feet of the pitch and have a translucent canopy that will provide cover for fans. MLS currently has 24 teams, including rookie FC Cincinnati. David Beckham’s Inter Miami and a new Nashville club will kick off next year, with Austin FC set to open in 2021, before the St. Louis club make its debut.

This bowl naming deal is no flake. Kellogg's Frosted Flakes brand will be the "title sponsor of the newly-named Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl," with the multiyear partnership "marked by Tony the Tiger being the first mascot to lend his name to a college football bowl game," according to the El Paso Times. The sponsorship agreement between the Sun Bowl Association and Frosted Flakes was "brokered by Denver-based Impression Sports & Entertainment." Tony the Tiger is "returning the Sun Bowl to its inaugural mission -- helping kids play sports -- something that hasn't been a focus since the birth of the Sun Bowl." The Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl in 2019 will "align with Tony's 'Mission Tiger' initiative, raising awareness and funds for at-risk middle school sports programs through a multiyear partnership with nonprofit DonorsChoose.org" SI.com opined that the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl is "easily the greatest bowl name and sponsorship deal since the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl" 2014-2016. My take? It’s Grrrreat!

The World Surf League helps the coral reef crisis. In another act of environmentalism, WSL has joined Glowing Glowing Gone, a global campaign advocating for greater funding and action for coral reef conversation by highlighting the global danger signaled by fluorescing corals. According to gcmag, the collaboration features a complete takeover of the Tahiti Pro Teahupo’o presented by Hurley event branding to incorporate the exact colors of fluorescing corals. The glowing coral phenomenon, called fluorescing, is one of the most visual indicators of the climate crisis and the existential threat to entire ecosystems such as coral reefs as the color change means the coral are trying to protect themselves from heating waters. Until recently, the phenomenon has gone largely unnoticed. WSL gives back to its event locations and is even offsetting the carbon footprint of the entire Tahitian event, including air travel, while supporting Coral Gardeners, a youth-led non-profit organization that is actively restoring coral reefs in the area.

Women’s esports get a boost from NBA 2K League. According to Polygon, the NBA 2K League held a development camp specifically for women last week, specifically to increase the number of women players in an esports series. The camp began August 20 at the NBA 2K League Studio in Queens and brought 15 of the top women competing in NBA 2K to play against and learn from players and coaches in the current NBA 2K League season. The NBA 2K League currently has only one woman among its 21 teams: Chiquita “Chiquitae126” Evans of Warriors Gaming Squad, the esports affiliate of the Golden State Warriors. Although Evans’ selection in the NBA 2K League draft this year earned her a nomination for “Best Esports Moment” at this year’s ESPY awards, there is a need to diversify the NBA 2K League and organizers are headed in the right direction.

Golf in Boise raising millions for local charities. According to CBS Idaho News, the Albertsons Boise Open raised a record $1.5 million for charity on its first night alone and had five more days to grow that total. Through the Tyson Foods TICKETS Fore CHARITY program, 100% of tournament ticket sales are given directly to Boise area charities. Some players who've come through Boise on their way to the PGA Tour include Justin Thomas, Matt Kuchar, Rickie Fowler, Ernie Els, Jim Furyk, Bubba Watson, Xander Schauffele, and Gary Woodland. As a testament to the event’s golf prowess, this year alone, 29 of the 50 PGA Tour events were won by players who played at the Albertsons Boise Open in the past. The event has provided over $25 million in charity since the inaugural Albertsons Boise Open in 1990 and has a chance to expand its record for the most ever raised in a year.

Minnesota Timberwolves’ Jordan Bell aims to erase MS. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first annual Jordan Bell celebrity basketball game benefiting the Race to Erase MS was held at the Walter Pyramid on the campus of California State University Long Beach. The game featured such other NBA stars as Karl Anthony Towns, Lonzo Ball, and JaVale McGee. All proceeds from the game were donated to the Center Without Walls program, a coalition of leading multiple sclerosis researchers from the country’s top universities who are collaborating to find a cure and treatments for the disease. It’s a cause that is very personal for Bell, as his girlfriend was diagnosed with the disease last November. The event is sure to grow with time, and Bell’s personal tie to the cause should enable its message and impact to grow even larger.

The Sound Of Music enjoyed extraordinary success as the first live television production of a musical in over 50 years when “The Sound of Music Live!” aired on NBC in December 2013 and was seen by over 44 million people. 2015 marked the 50th anniversary of the film version, which continues to be the most successful movie musical in history.

Featuring some of the most iconic songs of the past quarter-century — and one of the most inspiring stories in music history. From their humble beginnings in Cuba, Emilio and Gloria came to America and broke through all barriers to become a crossover sensation at the very top of the pop music world.

New Post has been published on http://www.news-twitter.com/2017/02/08/cnn-martin-schoellers-honest-celebrity-portraits-8/

CNN: Martin Schoeller's 'honest' celebrity portraits

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Donald Trump – “I want an off guarded moment. I try to make them forget that they’re being photographed, at least for a split second, to find this kind of moment of vulnerability.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Hillary Clinton – “Politicians are kind of posing, but they only have one pose. They don’t spend quite as much time in front of the mirror contemplating their facial expressions.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

LeBron James – “The easiest are athletes. They just run or jump or score, or kick a ball or hit a ball, so they don’t spend any time studying their facial expressions.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Brad Pitt – “Actors in general are difficult to shoot because they are always acting.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Philip Seymour Hoffman – “You feel like ‘Oh, this was an honest, great portrait’ while you’re photographing them… and then (I’m) looking at the contact sheets and I feel like, ‘Oh my god, they were playing the whole time and I didn’t even notice it.'”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Britney Spears – “For a while I thought I could do fashion, which was a big misconception because I really don’t care about clothes and I think as a fashion photographer you have to really love (it).”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Katy Perry – “I do think all photographs lie. I don’t think there is one picture that is really honest. You can’t describe a person in a split second, but maybe in the grand scheme of photography, I think there are some pictures that are more honest than others, you know? So I’m trying to steer to the little bit more honest side of the spectrum,” he said.

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Cate Blanchett – Schoeller has shot for the likes of National Geographic Magazine, Time and GQ, and was a staff photographer at The New Yorker for 13 years.

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Sting – He developed his signature style while working as an assistant for Annie Leibovitz in the ’90s.

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Robert De Niro – “When I was starting out, you were so limited at these press junkets. You only get 10 minutes with a person in a hotel room,” he said.

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Angela Merkel – “People would wear something that I don’t like, they would be in a setting I don’t like. So reducing it just to the face, I could always walk away with something that was a good portrait in my mind — no matter where, no matter when, no matter of whom.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Zach Galifianakis – Over the years, Schoeller has worked with some of pop cultures biggest names.

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Meryl Streep – “I’m told I have an hour with Meryl Streep,” Schoeller said. “So basically, she shows up, she’s wearing her shirt, almost wears no makeup and she combs her hair, then it’s done.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Lady Gaga – “Lady Gaga, I had three hours with Lady Gaga, she took two hours and 45 minutes to get ready, so I was left with 15 with her after.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

George Clooney – “I love working with George,” Schoeller said. “He’s charismatic, a very intelligent man, and, you know, walks to the beat of his own drum.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Jeff Koons – “I put a crown of flowers on (Jeff Koons’) head, which is a picture I love… He’s more controlled because images are part of his job and how he presents himself. He’s very careful about his public image, so it took a lot of time to talk him into my ideas.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Micah – For one of his most recent projects, Schoeller photographed homeless people for the Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition as part of a fundraising effort.

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Fannie Barrios – “It’s been 20 years that I’ve been taking these close up portraits and everybody in the same lighting, the same setting, the same angle, the same camera.”

Martin Schoeller’s celebrity portraits

Cureton Carmell – “Nobody is retouched… What you see is what you get.”

This is a community blog for the Hollywood and surrounding areas.

I live on Sycamore Ave. one block from Romaine. I was speaking with a client in my living room this morning and I hear, "get the F**K offa me!" and other expletives being screamed by a woman and a man. I looked out the window to the Corner to see a transient lady who eats at the line every night and has been squatting on my block for over 3 years, she's been cited 2x in the last week for public drunkenness, and now she is beating a man in the face with a metal bar.

I called the police and the SLO. LAPD came out and handcuffed her, but since neither of them will press charges, and it's not illegal to beat people in public? The police say that the only thing we can do is to wait until they rack up enough citations, wait for them to go to warrant, and then wait for them to take them off the streets.

This woman and her man friend are here because of the food line.

I see them there almost every night when I walk the line.

They take their food, and eat, and then use the bathroom on our streets and in our yards.

They are drunk almost all the time are unfriendly and create violent mayhem.If the food line actually cared about people, they would understand that where things like this happen every day, children are not safe.

Why does this food line operate without a building, bathrooms, or any regard for the people living a block away?

Why does the LABID get millions to "Protect the area" when they are in fact pushing the Transients right down my block and onto my property where we have no private security force to help us defenseless homeowners and families?

The line attracts and holds transients in a two block radius.

The LABID pushes them into our property each night.

How is it that both of these poorly executed programs persist and flourish?

This is just one story of hundreds that the residents of this neighborhood could tell you. I am in an almost daily communication with the LAPD about issues dealing from collateral damage inflicted by the poorly thought out food line that traps so many of these unfortunate people in a two block radius so high that I cannot walk my dog around the block without seeing some mentally ill person raving down the street, or a drug addict defecating, or urinating on private property and even on Melrose Ave in front of stores in broad daylight.

I ask you to join with me in pushing for immediate relocation of the food to a building in another area.

We need a break. This community is scared, angry and fed up.

Please join with me as we plan community action.

Nothing can be done if we don't show up as a community.

It's time to take our message to the street, to the meeting places, and to the donors, and businesses of the ones who are responsible for 26 year long assault.
