During every celebration, Hammitt is proud to partner with a deserving nonprofit or community organization that’s empowering women and children. At this event, Hammitt will donate in support of the DKF, whose mission is to inspire our youth to impact their communities while discovering and pursuing their passions.

Hammitt has been associated with DKF since 2020, including participation in the foundation’s “Youth in Fashion” fashion show and fundraiser in 2021 that was held at shopping destination South Coast Plaza and featured aspiring teen fashion designers.

The DKF offers a Fellowship program for high school students that includes funding of up to $5,000 for a summer community service project, a dedicated mentor, three immersive weekends of training and a long-lasting community of peers. In February, DKF will announce its seventh Fellowship cohort/class comprising 45 teams from California, Nevada and Arizona.

DKF Co-founder Daniel Kim said, “We’re so happy to partner again with our friends at Hammittand appreciate their generosity and support.” Hammitt Founder and Chief Cheerleader Tony Drockton will receive an award from DKF to acknowledge the company’s support.
