Buy a soccer bib & we donate a soccer ball...or 2!

My 8 year old son, Kyler, is a soccer fanatic. Soccer is his life. He devotes as much time as he can to play soccer outside on nice days, and inside on the Wii on not so nice days, all while wearing one of his favorite soccer jerseys and giving me a play by play. So, the other day I saw a video of less fortunate kids who can't afford soccer balls - they actually make them out of plastic bags and string, and get just as much joy out of them as my son does from a real soccer ball. I found the video on YouTube to show my son so that he could see how fortunate he is:

Kyler asked, first of all, if he could try making one like that. Then he paused and asked, "Mom, I have 5 soccer balls. Can I give some to the kids who have to make them out of plastic bags?" We looked into it, and sure enough a donation of only $16 through World Vision will provide 2 children with a soccer ball! He was so excited to learn that there was a way that we could provide these kids with real soccer balls. Then he asked, "Mom, can we donate money from each soccer bib you sell?" I was so proud to hear him think of this, so regardless of how many we sell, we're going through with Kyler's promotion! Leave it to an 8 year old to come up with a great idea!

Here's the deal:

-Buy a regular soccer bib, we will donate $8 to World Vision to donate 1 soccer ball to less fortunate kids

-Buy a custom soccer bib through our custom bib studio, and we will donate $16 to World Vision to donate 2 soccer balls to less fortunate kids!

Timing couldn't be more perfect, for several reasons:

1) Just in time for the Fifa 2010 World Cup, with our custom bib studio, you can design custom soccer bibs with team colors (flag or uniform colors) and team name, or your baby's name on the pocket.

Here's a little sampling of some that we designed on our custom bib studio to give you some inspiration:

2) This is also fitting for Fathers day coming up on June 20th, for any soccer fan Dads out there.

3) With our current 5th birthday celebration, you are also entitled to $5 your order by using the HAPPYBDAY coupon code upon checkout.

If you are not in need of a new soccer bib, but would like to donate, here is the link to make donations:

The promotion runs starting now, through the end of the Fifa World Cup, which is July 11, 2010. On July 11th, we will submit the donation to World Vision.
