Kenneth Cole MANKIND HERO Partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters to Launch “Hometown Heroes” Campaign

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kenneth Cole MANKIND HERO announces its “Hometown Heroes” campaign in
partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America to highlight the
importance of mentorship and community outreach during National
Volunteer Week (April 23 – 29, 2017).


The Kenneth Cole MANKIND HERO fragrance draws inspiration from today’s
modern heroes, who are courageous leaders, inspiring guides, and
committed mentors. At its core, the Hometown Heroes campaign aims to
reinforce the importance of performing small acts of courage, kindness,
and integrity – reminding us that everyone can be a hero to someone.

The nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network,
Big Brothers Big Sisters, provides strong mentorship for children and
adolescents who need a positive role model. By facilitating meaningful,
monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children
(“Littles”), the organization develops positive relationships that have
direct and lasting effects on the lives of young people across the
country.

Our Bigs are making a difference every day by spending time with their
Littles, leading by example, and guiding them on the path to success. We
are so proud to celebrate these everyday heroes through our partnership
with Kenneth Cole,” said Pam Iorio, President and CEO of Big Brothers
Big Sisters of America.

Kenneth Cole Fragrances is proud to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of
America through its “Hometown Heroes” campaign in support of the mission
to offer mentorship to today’s youth. Beginning April 23, 2017, $2.00
for every purchase of specially-labeled limited edition Kenneth Cole
MANKIND HERO 3.4 oz and 6.7 oz Eau de Toilette fragrances (up to
$60,000), will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America to
support the work of local affiliates.
