"Gap has a long history of giving back to others, and we know making a difference in the world is extremely important to our customers too," said Marka Hansen, president of Gap North America. "As we thought about what holiday looked like this year at Gap, we knew we wanted to be the destination for the season's most coveted pieces while also creating something meaningful for our customers to participate in. The personalities in our campaign support a wide range of causes, and we're giving everyone a chance to give back to those causes this holiday season."

What Do You Want to Give Back

Gap has created a series of online video vignettes with influential artists, dancers, musicians and entrepreneurs – like actor Reeve Carney, style blogger Susie Bubble, dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied and Foursquare founders Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadurai – who open up about their personal causes.

Featured on Gap's Facebook Fan page, YouTube channel, and on Gap.com, fans can check out the videos and then join in the spirit of giving by "liking" them. Each time a video is "liked," Gap will give a $1 donation to the charity featured in that video, up to $150,000. Plus, fans will get something in return – 30 percent off one regularly priced item for themselves.

Gap's "Want" holiday campaign features the cast of influencers wearing the most coveted gifts for you and your loved ones, including:
