Six Ways to Support 826 National

Right now we have six absolutely fabulous ways for you to show your love and support for 826 National! Available for purchase online and at all Urban Outfitters locations, the brand new two-disc compilation cd Give. Listen. Help. Vol. 6 benefits 826 National and features exclusive tunes from Sonic Youth, MGMT, Dinosaur Jr., N.A.S.A and many more. And while you’re at a local Urban Outfitters or on their website, you can also pick up a Where The Wild Things Are plush keychain, with $2 from each sale coming our way.

In need of some new duds instead? No problem. Head on over to PACT to pick up a pair of custom-designed, 95% organic cotton underwear. PACT will donating 20% of all sales of these stylin’ undergarments to 826 National. Or check out our latest t-shirt benefiting 826 on Social Designer, "The Zebra Who Ran Away From His Stripes.” And after you order, why not wear both your t-shirt and your underoos to a preveiw showing of Where The Wild Things Are in your closest 826 city? The special benefit screenings start next week with tickets available here.

Last but not least, don’t forget that 826 National’s Cyber Radio-Kinetic Telethon party will be in San Francisco on October 6th at 7PM. Join us for pizza, beer, music from local legend Thao Nguyen, and phone calls going out across the country to raise money for 826. Be sure to RSVP by emailing lauren [at] 826national.org to take part in this fun-filled, feel-good evening. Even if you live outside the Bay Area, we can still use your help to reach our goal of raising $30,000! Make a donation of any size to the Cyber Radio-Kinetic Telethon homepage today.
