CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carolina Pad™, industry leader in fashion school and office supplies, has teamed up with The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to inspire students to raise their voice against animal cruelty with a collection of school supplies, entitled “Stand Up!.”
The HSUS’ programs offer a variety of resources to help students learn the issues affecting animals today, form animal protection clubs nationwide and provide scholarships and awards for students and clubs who are making a difference for animals.
“There is no cause closer to my heart than animals,” says Carolina Pad designer Liz Diller, creator of the Stand Up! line. “Inspiring others to help them through my designs is the perfect intersection of my work at Carolina Pad and the causes I support.”
Working closely with HSUS is a natural fit for Carolina Pad™,’s Commerce with a Conscience™ initiative. The designs encourage self-expression in students, which ties in perfectly to the Student Outreach program’s work to support students in making their voices heard for animals.
“Every day we work with young people who care deeply about animals and want to use their passion and unique talents to help,” said Heidi O’Brien, student outreach director for The HSUS.
Products in the “Stand Up!” line carry messaging central to The HSUS’ ideology – Speak Out, Love and Respect. This unique craft-paper collection will be available at www.carolinapadstore.com in June.
