Zutano to Support 
Global Action for Children Organization

CABOT, VT — Announcing the arrival of its most charming as well as most impactful line to date; Zutano, the preeminent designer of children’s clothing, is ecstatic to have embarked upon its largest aid effort to date with the donation of 5% of revenue from the entire Fall/Winter 2008 Collectibles clothing line to Global Action for Children, a nonpartisan coalition dedicated to advocating for orphans and highly vulnerable children in the developing world.

The line has shipped and is currently available in over 1,500 gift and specialty stores internationally as well as online e-tailers and the Zutano e-boutique. Zutano has been a great supporter of children’s organizations around the world, generously providing assistance whenever possible, in whatever way they can.

“We are very pleased to support Global Action for Children in its efforts to improve the lives of vulnerable children throughout the developing world,” says Michael Belenky, President of Zutano. “Advocating for the health and well-being of children worldwide is a mission that we at Zutano fully embrace.”

“We welcome the support of partners like Zutano, whose philanthropic spirit and dedication to children help us in advocating for orphans and highly vulnerable children in some of the world’s poorest communities,” says Jennifer Delaney, Executive Director of Global Action for Children. “Worldwide, 143 million children face life without one or both parents. Without a safety net to protect them, these children are susceptible to a host of dangers, including hunger, disease, sexual exploitation and violence. The financial support we receive greatly helps us in our mission to advocate for a better, safer world for all children, especially the most vulnerable.”

The 2008 Zutano’s Fall/Winter collection captures a Rock ‘n Roll inspired graphic theme. A harmonious mix of brights and low-voltage midtones result in confident color combinations. A distinctive Zutano/Global Action for Children organization hangtag will proudly appear on each garment in the rockin’ Fall/Winter ’08 line, making this outstanding partnership visible to the public and encouraging awareness of the cause. Global Action for Children believes all children should have health care, education, food, and the caring family environment they need to grow up and lead healthy, productive lives. Creating a better world for these children creates a better, safer world for all children.
