Miami, FL -- (SBWire) -- 11/03/2015 --"Don't hate the king!" was a chant that fell like music into Elie Neufeld's ears. He had certainly started a movement with his new t-shirt design. Now, well beyond the Lebron James controversy, his DHTK brand is thriving with a huge fan club and hundreds of thousands of social media followers.
"To this day, I'm surprised how much impact a simple t-shirt had. I thought to myself: What if I could design a shirt to make an equally big social impact?"
As fate would have it, Elie, stumbled on a Toronto-based social enterprise called RTG Group that has a mandate to END hunger in the developed world within 5 years. Also fateful, they wanted to provide the contributors of their, now active, crowdfunding campaign with a trendy t-shirt to wear as a badge of honor for their generosity.
"I knew with my fan-base we could feed a tonne kids. We just needed a sick theme"
Then it hit him: "Compassion is King". It was in line with his previous branding and was also something he full-heartedly believed. The shirts will be likely be worn by thousands of socially responsible people by the end of the November-long crowdfunding campaign.
"We'll be sending out a bunch... The only thing that would make it better would be if Lebron himself would wear one and support the cause. I'm calling you out, Lebron. You owe me one!"
