Teen Boys Of Double Peak Raise Funds For The Education Of Homeless Youth

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Teenage brothers Connor (16) and Sean (13) Jabbar launched their venture Double Peak on December 1, 2017. Their idea was to combine their passion for the outdoors and boarding with their desire to give back to communities. Double Peak is a lifestyle based clothing line that donates its entire proceeds to charitable causes.  Their first charitable partner was Monarch School of San Diego— a K-12 comprehensive school designed to educate homeless youth.

"We started Double Peak to share our passion of the outdoors, inspire others to find their peak and to give back to causes in communities. Partnering with Monarch School for our first charity was perfect.  Sean and I loved the idea of kids giving back to other kids who need our support and encouragement. These kids are just like us but face incredible challenges each and every day," said Founder and CEO, Connor Jabbar.  

For the month of December, Double Peak raised $10,000 through sales and sponsorship support, and also were able to sell 250 shirts that will be given to each student at Monarch School through their "Buy a Shirt for a Monarch Student" campaign.  In addition, an anonymous donor who heard about the boys' fundraising pledged to match the boys' efforts dollar for dollar, enabling a total donation of $20,000 for the school.  "We are so excited to have partnered with Double Peak to help raise funds to provide our students with the opportunities and education they need to build successful futures. We are also very excited to announce that a generous supporter has agreed to match Double Peak's donation dollar for dollar," said Monarch School's CEO Erin Spiewak.  

Double Peak's next charitable partner will be Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).  The boys will start their fundraising campaign for JDRF, "Peakin For a Cure,"  February 1, 2018 and will carry it through March 31, 2018. All apparel proceeds will go to JDRF to support finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.
