"Like the rest of the world, we are deeply saddened by the tragic events in Haiti and are committed to using our resources to help those in need," said Neil Morton, CEO of Everlast Worldwide.  "So when news of the disaster broke, we immediately contacted Andre to see how Everlast could help." 

 

In addition to giving away 100% of the profits from sales of the shirt go to the American Red Cross, Everlast has committed to donating $10,000 of clothes to the recently established Berto Dynasty Foundation!, to be distributed amongst those in Haiti who have survived but are without basic necessities.
