Earlier this year, Simple Plan sold a limited-edition T-Shirt benefitting The Red Cross’ Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief efforts, and as 2011 draws to a close, the pop-rock band has co-designed another T-shirt with clothing retailer Bluenotes with the proceeds going to Kids Help Phone.

Kids Help Phone is a 24-hour youth counselling service, providing free, anonymous, confidential, professional counselling services in English and French.

Available for a limited time only, November 25 to December 18, at more than 100 Bluenotes locations across Canada, as well as online for U.S. and Canadian customers at www.bluenotes.ca, the two designs are based on the title of the Montreal band’s latest studio album, Get Your Heart On!

There is a white V-neck T-shirt with giant scribble painted effect black heart with the words “I Got A Heart On For You” inside, and a grey crew-neck T-shirt with a hot-pink painted effect heart with the same caption. In the bottom right corner of both is the name of the band and the Kids Help Phone telephone number.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, Toronto's Andrew MacNaughtan has unleashed an important monologue on behalf of World Vision with his brand new coffee table book, Grace: Africa in Photographs.

The result of a three-week sojourn to Kenya and Tanzania taken by MacNaughtan in November 2010, Grace: Africa in Photographs is a dazzling 80-page B&W portrait depiction of the people, wildlife and breathtaking beauty of one of the world’s most majestic continents.

Published through his own ArtGivesHope charity (www.artgiveshope.ca) — which he established in 2006 — MacNaughtan, one of Canada’s foremost rock music photographers and video directors, is earmarking all proceeds of the limited-edition book to World Vision’s Hope Program.  It sells for $55 through his website or comes free by sponsoring a child.

Long after you’ve shaved off that moustache you're growing this month for Movember to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer, you could have a pair of shoes that will not only be a reminder of your charitable gesture but that gives to two causes.

For the second year in a row,  socially-conscious shoe retailer TOMS is offering its limited edition Movember shoes, distinguished by a small white moustache that appears on its Grey Black Wax Twilled Botas and Classic designs.

And ladies, if you feel left out of the ‘stache-growing bro-fest, here’s where TOMS really digs in its heels: these shoes are available for both men and women, so now you can support the cause without worrying about that fuzzy facial growth that the men are struggling to raise.

An even better kicker: not only do proceeds of the Movember shoe go towards fighting prostate cancer and help bring awareness of men’s health issues to the forefront, but TOMS continues its mandate to donate a second pair of shoes to a child in need for each pair of shoes bought.

The “One For One” campaign is the idea of TOMS American founder Blake Mycoskie, who was traveling in Argentina five years ago when he discovered most of the children had no shoes to protect their feet. Since 2006, TOMS has donated more than one million pairs of shoes to children.

So if you can’t gro a mo but want to help promote the Movember cause, TOMS offers a great alternative that is a lot less itchy.

The shoes, which retail for $70 and $105, are available for a limited time online only from Toms.ca.
