Kendra Scott Partners with Kind Campaign in an Effort to Stop "Girl Against Girl Crime" in Schools

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- KENDRA SCOTT announces a partnership with Kind Campaign in an effort to bring awareness and healing to bullying in schools nationwide.  As the brand continues to grow, Kendra Scott remains committed to the company's guiding principles "family, fashion and philanthropy," with a focus on involvement in philanthropic efforts.

During the month of August, Kendra Scott will donate 20% of proceeds from the sale of their signature Danielle Earrings, Elle Earrings, Alexandra Earrings and Alex Earrings in White Mother-of-Pearl to Kind Campaign.

"Having been bullied myself when I was younger, and now as a mother with three sons, I am eager to take a stand against this very serious issue," shared Kendra Scott, Founder and CEO of her namesake label.  "Bullying is apparent in so many communities and we are committed, in partnership with Kind Campaign, to continue to raise awareness and encourage the spread of kindness."

Kind Campaign is an internationally recognized movement, documentary and school program based upon the powerful belief that kindness brings awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of "girl against girl crime."  With the start of the school year around the corner, this partnership will aid in spreading the kindness message across communities nationwide.

About Kind Campaign
In February 2009, while attending Pepperdine University, Lauren Paul and Molly Thompson joined forces.  Having both been affected by female bullying throughout their youth, the young women decided to create change by giving females a platform to speak out about this universal experience.  What began as an idea for a documentary about girl-against-girl bullying ultimately became Kind Campaign, a multi-platform movement that has transformed hundreds of thousands of friendships, classrooms and communities all over America and Canada. Lauren and Molly have personally spoken with their assembly program in over 300 schools across North America, have completed five international anti-bullying school tours, and their documentary Finding Kind now plays in schools and communities almost every day of the school year reaching hundreds of thousands of students with their message.  Set to release in Fall 2014, Kind Campaign launches their Kind Kit, a comprehensive anti-bullying curriculum which will include the Finding Kind documentary, the assembly program on DVD, Kind Campaign materials, and a copy of their 19-week Kind Club curriculum. With their film, assembly program, school tours, Kind Club curriculum, Kind Camp, and their strong online presence, Kind Campaign serves as the premiere anti-bullying movement for girls and has impacted millions of individuals across the globe.
