Marc Thaler began Art with Purpose after he graduated from USC. His mother passed away from breast cancer, so the cause is close to home. He has raised over $40,000 since the brands’ start.
His pieces are streetwear inspired – hoodies, denim jackets, hats, etc. and 25% of sales go toward breast cancer research at hospitals like City of Hope, St Johns, Keck School of Medicine at USC and other organizations such as John Wayne Cancer Institute and Phase One Foundation. Marc believes that he is so successful because “young people are into fashionable streetwear, and can afford to buy a piece of clothing, but might never think to write a check to a foundation.” Pricing for Art with Purpose ranges from $30 – $300.
