We feel passionately that we have a responsibility to use our talents to serve and better the communities we live in. It’s part of Daily Planet’s culture. We’ve partnered with not-for-profits around Chicago to help them spread their message of service. Our fundraising and gala videos have moved hearts, raised awareness and won awards.
We even created our own campaign, GiveaShi*t, to benefit Streetwise. GiveaShi*t sells limited edition t-shirts designed by local artists to help the local homeless community. 100% of our profits benefit Streetwise and their vendors. Stop by our offices to see and buy from the collection.
