CAWS Schools and We Help Two: Making Twice the Difference! Featured Photo

CAWS Schools and We Help Two: Making Twice the Difference!

CAWS is excited to be partnering with WE Help Two to make twice the difference through their funky sock fundraising program.

There is no upfront cost to the program and schools can keep up to 50% of the total sales.

Socks can be sold online and/or We Help Two can send a box of socks to your school at NO UPFRONT COST! That means schools will only have to pay for the inventory sold. Leftover packs are sent back and schools will be invoiced for what was sold. 

The service focus for 2025-26 will be raising funds for the fire and flood victims in California. Schools will also be able to select their own cause or one of the three international programs offered by We Help Two.
