May 8, 2009 – Wellington, Florida – JustWorld International and Antares Sellier
France have partnered to help children in need. Antares will donate a
generous portion of proceeds from every helmet sold, including the
JustWorld signature helmet, to JustWorld International, a
not-for-profit, humanitarian organization working as a catalyst for
positive change in the developing world by helping underprivileged
children.
The newly-launched signature JustWorld International helmet features the JustWorld logo in royal blue and purple. Anyone who wishes to show their support for JustWorld International is invited to purchase the helmet.
“I am very excited about the new partnership between JustWorld and Antares,” said Jessica Newman, Executive Director of JustWorld International. “On top of making a beautiful product which I predict will be very popular amongst riders worldwide, Antares has a very down-to-earth and humanitarian vision. For a long time, Antares Co-Owner Evelyne Cummings has wanted to do something to genuinely help JustWorld. She approached me with this idea and I thought it was fabulous! JustWorld is honored to welcome Antares as a new partner and extremely grateful for their generosity.”
A significant portion of the proceeds from each Antares helmet sold, including the signature JustWorld helmet, will go to JustWorld International to fund its project sites in Brazil, Cambodia, Guatemala, Honduras, Kenya and Senegal.
“We are happy to help promote JustWorld’s mission of bringing awareness of their programs to riders and equestrian enthusiasts of all ages,” said Evelyne Cummings, Co-Owner of Antares Sellier France. “We started out by talking about creating a helmet for the JustWorld Rider Ambassadors but realized we could do much more to support such a great cause. Every Antares helmet sold will help children in need. We thank JustWorld for this great opportunity.”
The Antares riding helmet recently received SEI approval, meeting the standard for use in International Equestrian Federation (FEI) as well as United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) sanctioned competition.
