T-shirt company for a cause

In 2011, two successful entrepreneurs started a business aimed at attempting to solve their frustrations regarding global poverty.
Dale Partridge, 26, and Aaron Chavez, 19, broke the world down into seven parts of what they believe are the world’s greatest problems: hunger, fighting human trafficking, poverty, scarcity of water, disasters and assistance with both general and medical aid, which resulted in their creation of Sevenly.org.
The online-based organization is structured around the number seven and builds upon the popular trend of companies that make giving an integral part of their business.
“We really can’t get society to understand the value of giving until we can get them to give, so we built a model that revolved around this idea,” said Partridge, CEO of Sevenly.
Each week, Sevenly partners with a new non-profit charity that supports one of its world causes. Sevenly then showcases that charity by creating a unique design that embodies the charity’s mission.
