ABOUTDonald and Lisa Pliner are always passionate about the causes that are important to them-health, arts, animals, and more. But to have more impact on our future, the Pliners have decided to focus their charitable efforts on the most vulnerable members of society: children. Out of these efforts comes the Peace For The Children Foundation, which has been created to channel funds to deserving projects and initiatives that advance peace, care, and welfare to children in need. Each year, Donald puts a special ornament on his shoes and handbags. This year the Donald J Pliner Spring 2008 collection will have a peace sign, which is partly tied to the Vietnam War, but more important because Donald and Lisa’s lives were so profoundly changed when they went to Kazakhstan to meet their daughter and we saw all the children that will never be adopted. With all the wars that are going on today and all the poverty in the world you realize that until you can bring peace to the children, there will never be peace in the world. We’re trying to help children because poverty does exist, education is lacking and there is disease and disaster all around us every day. The Donald J Pliner Spring 2008 collection continues to bridge fashion with altruism with a collection grouping of shoes and handbags discreetly identifying the foundation’s mission with peace symbols. A percentage of company sales will fund the foundation. An irresistible combination: fashion with a passion for peace. |
