When Kastor & Pollux was approached by Toby from Wear It Don’t Bear It, the decision to lend our support was instantaneous.

With firearms becoming increasingly available, powerful and destructive, countless tragedies have ended the lives of many, hitting closer and closer to home. Shootings in Aurora, Colorado / Oslo, Norway / and at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, triggered me to express my concern about gun violence back in December, and although leaps and bounds haven’t been made in terms of legislating the use of firearms, continuing to instil awareness in the public/taking purposeful actions towards supporting those suffering as a result, is always a good place to start. Wear It Don’t Bear It allows us/you/everyone to show your recognition, and whether or not you are in a position to lend your monetary support, please inform yourself on Toby’s cause and spread the word using the hashtag #wearitdontbearit

If you’re interested, please consider purchasing your own charm here. All profits go to Bereaved Parents of the USA, a non-profit organization that looks to offer support to families who have lost children.
