NEW YORK, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, lokai, a global lifestyle brand for seekers of balance, announces the launch of wild lokai to benefit World Wildlife Fund (WWF). In March, lokai launched blue lokai, a limited-edition bracelet that benefited charity: water, which rallied the lokai community and brought clean drinking water to over 10,000 people in Ethiopia. Now, lokai is donating one dollar to WWF for every wild lokai sold between June 15th and July 28th, with a minimum commitment of $250,000, once again bringing together the #livelokai community to make a difference.
lokai's marquee product is a unisex bracelet infused with elements from the highest and lowest points on Earth. The band's white bead carries water from Mt. Everest and its black bead contains mud from The Dead Sea. These extreme elements are a reminder to the wearer to live a balanced life – staying humble during life's peaks and hopeful during its lows. wild lokai is the latest in a series of limited-edition bracelets, created through non-profit partnerships and designed to engage the lokai community to make a difference.
"With the launch of wild lokai and our commitment to WWF, we are once again able to help an incredible cause," said Steven Izen, Founder and CEO of lokai. "We are thrilled to support WWF's tireless work to give a voice to the voiceless and help better the future of our planet. The wild lokai WWF partnership is the latest in a series of charity partnerships that will spread lokai's message of personal and global balance."

They are the voice for the creatures that have no voice, seeking to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature.
