02/23/15 Press Release: Mother’s Day Collaboration

Chicago-based Po Campo has teamed up with Bright Endeavors to help you celebrate your mom, while helping other, less-fortunate mothers out. Po Campo makes stylish bike, yoga and casual bags for active, urban-minded individuals. Bright Endeavors is a Chicago non-profit that creates luxury bath products, while providing job training to young mothers. The program is a pathway out of poverty for more than 280 women and 300 children in Chicago each year.

“As a women-run small business, Po Campo is always looking for ways to empower other women,” said Maria Boustead, Po Campo’s owner and designer. “This partnership allows our customers to give their moms a unique Mother’s Day gift, while helping young mothers in the Bright Endeavors program to feed their children and improve their lives.”

Po Campo is offering two different gift sets: The Nice Ride Mothers Day Gift Set and the Pretty Pamper Mothers Day Gift Set. Each retails for $45.
