Finding a Better Tomorrow - With DVLP and The Denver Rescue Mission

CREATE. INSPIRE. EVOLVE.

One of my dear friends, Rustin Coburn, is heading up this great effort for the benefit of the Denver Rescue Mission (which is another organization doing such wonderful work here in Denver).  Please support their efforts to help the homeless!



Finding A Better Tomorrow

DVLP and BC Surf and Sport team up to help keep the homeless of Denver warm If you live, work, or spend any time in downtown Denver you have driven through the cross streets of Lawrence, Park Ave, and Broadway where the triangle of Eddie Maestas Park sits. Many people will tell you that this is where homelessness in Denver begins….and hopefully will end. Five years ago, Major Hickenlooper started the “Road Home” campaign, with the goal of providing every homeless person in Denver a home, health care and a job. With a tough economy, we are not quite here yet.

However, it is encouraging to see local businesses coming together to help give back. This November local clothing brand DVLP, with the help of BC Surf and Sport (which currently has five Colorado retail locations) will be having a clothing run for the homeless people of Denver Colorado. The two local companies are asking that people drop off a bag of clothing at any of the Boulder or Denver BC Surf and Sport locations. They can also drop them off directly at the DVLP Headquarters in downtown Denver. In exchange for donating a bag of clothing, you will receive a special limited edition shirt designed by DVLP Co-founder Rustin Coburn, and 15% off your next purchase from BC Surf and Sport (only applicable for clothing or shoes purchased at the time of drop-off. The 15% is also not combinable with other discounts).

So get out there, and don’t be shy. The clothing will be dropped off at the Denver Rescue Mission
on November 22nd. Between their four locations Denver Rescue can house 1,000 people per night,
and last year they served 770,000 meals. They have specifically requested that the most needed
items are new socks and under garments, but your used pants, hats, shirts, and jackets are also
welcome.

DVLP Clothing is also giving people the opportunity to participate in this meaningful cause even if they do not have the time or extra clothes. The company will be selling the limited edition t-shirt online at  http://www.dvlpclothing.com/, and $5.00 of each shirt purchased will go directly to the Denver

Rescue Mission and helping to get the homeless of Denver off the streets. Go online, to their EXCLUSIVLE SOLD section, and the shirt is titled “A Better Tomorrow”.
