Inspiration must be in the air!

Earlier, we told you about the awesome tee you can buy to help benefit AIDS prevention and education. Now, you can double your AIDS philanthropy and rock your tee with an adorable tote!

For the past four years, ALDO has teamed with YouthAIDS, selling products to benefit the organization which aims to generate awareness and prevent the spread of AIDS through the use of media, pop culture, music, theater, and athletics.

Since their first collaboration, ALDO has donated over $3.5 million to the organization. Major props to ALDO! We love retailers who really give back.

This year, the designers at ALDO have created three cute collectible totes for the 2009 ALDO Fights AIDS (AFA) campaign. At the extremely low price of just $10 per bag, 100% of the net proceeds will go to YouthAIDS, which will use the money to help protect South African youth from HIV. According to ALDO, "By purchasing a tote…, you will help provide one young person with the information and tools he or she needs to be protected from HIV for up to one year."

With both top handles and a shoulder strap, these cute and functional bags are perfect for schoolbooks or groceries, and at just $10, such an easy and affordable way to help such an important cause.

Up your good Karma and grab your AFA Tote in ALDO stores or at ALDO.com.
