Ben Sherman Global Artist Foundry Partners with Rolling Stone
To Release Limited Edition T-Shirt in Aid of Teen Cancer America
(New York, NY) Oct 30, 2023. Following the release of Ben Sherman and Rolling Stone’s collaboration to celebrate the British menswear brand’s 60th Anniversary, the two iconic organizations have joined forces to release an exclusive t-shirt for an exceptional charitable cause, Teen Cancer America.
“Supporting charities like Teen Cancer America isn’t just about giving back; it’s about making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most,” said Gus Wenner, CEO of Rolling Stone. It’s a testament to our shared humanity, our capacity for empathy, and the responsibility we have as leaders to contribute to a better world for the next generation.”
The Teen Cancer America charity, founded over a decade ago, is helmed by its renowned patrons, two musical legends, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who, both globally recognized for championing the cause to develop special units for teens with cancer and helping them get the treatment and support they desperately need. The charity t-shirt, made from organic cotton, comes in black or white and is available on BenSherman.com, BenSherman.co.uk, and through select retailers priced at £40 and $59. 100% of the profits of every Ben Sherman Global Artist Foundry x Rolling Stone Charity t-shirt sold will be donated to help raise money to aid Teen Cancer America’s mission.
“Ben Sherman has been a brand associated with The Who and the “Mod” movement since the sixties. Rolling Stone has faithfully covered our music and performances throughout the decades. This collaboration to benefit The Who’s charity in the USA is pure magic! We are so grateful for the support this initiative will provide young people with cancer throughout America. Think lucky and be lucky!” said Roger Daltrey, lead singer for The Who.
It’s not the first time that Ben Sherman has partnered with Roger Daltrey, as he famously designed an exclusive limited-edition button-down shirt for the brand’s 50th anniversary inspired by the front cover of The Who’s ground-breaking seventies album titled “The Kids Are Alright”. Fast forward a decade later, and the brand firmly believes supporting Teen Cancer America is a worthy philanthropic initiative and a great way to close out the 60th anniversary year. Ben Sherman Global Artist Foundry X Rolling Stone will kick off the upcoming festive season with a social media campaign reminding consumers to shop a gift that gives back to Teen Cancer America and support a great cause for good.
