LOVE YOUR MELON
Sometimes you really can do well by doing good. All it takes is a couple of fresh ideas. The first came to Zachary Quinn: a way to help children undergoing treatment for cancer, he thought, might be as simple as providing the comfort and protection of a cute beanie. What began as a way to use design to manifest empathy has become a movement: Love Your Melon has given away hundreds of thousands of hats to children fighting cancer—and millions of dollars to the cause. Meanwhile, the company has expanded its made-in-America products to apparel and housewares, with 50 percent of net profits going to a fund supporting nonprofits that provide therapy and programming for kids with cancer and their families.
