TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2017 /CNW/ -- Moores Clothing for
Men and Kenneth Cole Productions launched the AWEARNESS Kenneth
Cole collection in November 2015 with
the mission to create tailored clothing so the modern man can "look
good, for good." This Remembrance
Day, Moores and Kenneth Cole Productions are proud to
announce that the AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole collection has generated
over $350,000 in donations since the
program's inception to support True Patriot Love Foundation and
their mission to assist Canadian military Veterans. "The donations
generated from sales of the AWEARNESS collection have been
impressive and we are proud of our partnership to support our
Veterans and their families," says Richard
Bull, Vice President of Merchandising at Moores.
The benefitting charity partnering in this mission has a strong
history supporting the military community. True Patriot Love
Foundation is a national charity dedicated to providing essential
support and resources to Canadian military members, Veterans and
their families. Among many other programs, True Patriot Love
Foundation pairs ill and injured soldiers with Canadian business
leaders on ambitious expeditions across the globe helping build
awareness of the challenges Veterans face when they transition to
civilian life.
"True Patriot Love sincerely thanks Moores, and the AWEARNESS
Kenneth Cole collection, for its incredible support and
partnership," said Bronwen Evans,
CEO of True Patriot Love Foundation. "Together, we are able to
assist Veterans who are transitioning to civilian life by providing
access to critical programs and services that will directly help
them on their journey."
The AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole collection features slim fit suits,
sport coats, dress shirts and ties. Also included in the collection
is the AWEAR-TECH line of performance apparel introduced last Fall.
The tailored clothing and sportswear items feature 37.5 fabric
technology that includes advanced cooling technology. Both
collections will continue to generate a one percent contribution
from all gross sales of AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole products sold
exclusively at Moores.
