SlickSugar.com offers parents a chance to teach their children to look good as they do good. They’ve joined forces with non-profit Little Kids Rock to create a special edition children’s tee whose proceeds keep the music alive in underfunded public school classrooms. As music programs across the country have been reduced or even eliminated, Little Kids Rock fills the void by restoring and revitalizing music in underfunded public schools. Founded in San Francisco in 2002, the charity was started by an elementary school teacher who was frustrated at the lack of music funding in his own school. Today, Little Kids Rock is one of the leading nonprofit providers of free lessons and free instruments to underprivileged children in public schools in 25 cities numbering an astounding 160,000 students. Bonnie Raitt, Slash, Paul Simon, B.B. King and Ziggy Marley are among the charity’s famous friends and supporters.
Slick Sugar is an online children’s clothing retailer with designs and products that aim to inspire and define individuality. The exclusive designs are fashioned with music and vintage themes with a mantra to inspire children to pick up an instrument, embrace the arts and march to the beat of their own drum. The online boutique also offers unique gifts, toys and accessories, along with the company’s Belly Banter sticker line, designed to help document a mom’s pregnancy or child’s first year of growth month by month. Their partnership with non-profit Little Kids Rock allow them to be socially responsible with the sale of the special edition Keep The Music Alive tee.
As soon as I heard the word “music” I knew I write about this! With less and less funding going towards music programs at public schools, it is so nice to see companies like Slick Sugar doing something about it! As a piano teacher and lover of ALL types of music I have tried to ingrain my passion for music into my kids and I think it is working! I am teaching them to play the piano and they are always singing and dancing to our massive selection of songs, or the radio. There are so many kids who haven’t grown up with music as a part of their lives. It would be such a shame for public schools to stop teaching a subject that is such a part of our culture! The “Keep the Music Alive” Tee is the perfect way to make sure this doesn’t happen. Along with a super-comfortable and adorable tee, you can also be proud knowing that you have made a difference in the on-going battle to keep music in schools.
Available online at Target.com and SlickSugar.com, this adorable tee for boys and girls features a guitar and a little birdie singing around the words, “keep the music alive.” The special edition top, comes in sizes 6 months to 5/6. It retails for $26.
