We STAND with TOMS and Malala Fund

TOMS recently approached STAND asking if they could gift Vivienne Harr, our 12-year-old Chief Inspiration Officer, with a scarf — an extra special scarf, to be exact. This scarf is a partnership between TOMS and Malala Fund. For every scarf purchased, TOMS will donate 100% of the profits to Malala Fund, supporting girls’ empowerment through education. TOMS gifted Vivienne this special scarf and sent her one to gift to someone who inspires her — Vivienne chose Katie Jacobs Stanton. Here are few photos of Vivienne and Katie in their TOMS x Malala Fund scarves, plus the note Vivienne wrote Katie when she gave her the scarf! Shop the scarf HERE & create a STAND for Malala Fund HERE.

Hi Katie,

[I wrote down the words so I could get them right.]

I have a special gift for you.

This is more than a scarf. It’s a symbol. A symbol of courage, compassion — and girl empowerment.

It is a collaboration between TOMS and The Malala Fund.

The idea here is I give you one scarf to keep and one to give to someone you admire. Isn’t it pretty? It makes you into a “compassionista fashionista!”😊

When TOMS asked me who I would choose, in the entire world, to have this, I chose you.

For one, you are someone I admire deeply. You have achieved so much, and you seem to do it with grace and compassion. You are successful — and kindhearted.

And two, we both love Malala Fund and share a passion and a commitment to girl empowerment. We believe that if given the opportunity, any girl can change the world.

Thank you for being a role model for me, and for every girl around the world, Katie.
