Giving Back to the Community

At Cosmoda, we believe in the power of giving back and take pride in being a good corporate citizen to our local, national and international neighbours.

We focus our support on organizations that uphold the values and philosophies of our brands – i.e. Right to Play, Dress for Success and The Lunchbox Auction – as well as organizations that have touched Cosmoda lives – i.e. Rethink Breast Cancer, Baycrest Foundation.

Our Involvement

Rethink Breast Cancer is a charity helping young people who are concerned about and affected by breast cancer through innovative breast cancer education, research and support programs.

Cosmoda supports Rethink by developing pink products for Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October. With the purchase of a special edition Rethink watch or insulated lunch bag, 10% of the proceeds are donated to Rethink Breast Cancer.

Dress for Success is an international not-for-profit organization that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Since starting operations in 1997, Dress for Success has expanded to more than 90 cities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the UK and the West Indies. To date, Dress for Success has helped more than 500,000 women work towards self-sufficiency.

In keeping with its core values and history of community support, Cosmoda introduced a Roots Watch promotion in which watches are donated to Dress for Success. 

Right to Play is an international organization dedicated to ensuring children’s rights to education, health and play. The humanitarian organization helps improve the lives of children through innovative sports and play programs in addition to providing health and community development projects. 

With the purchase of a special edition Roots Watches, 10% of the proceeds are donated to Right to Play, helping to create healthy and safe opportunities for young people through the power of sport and play.

Baycrest Foundation - Baycrest is one of the world's premier academic health sciences centers focused on aging. Baycrest is using the power of inquiry and discovery to improve the health of tomorrow's elderly while at the same time care for and enhance the quality of life of the elderly today.

Cosmoda is proud to help care for seniors with yearly donations to The Baycrest Foundation.

The Lunchbox Auction is an organization devoted to fighting poverty and hunger in the US and abroad. Splitting its proceeds between two important organizations in the US and in South Africa, the Lunchbox Auction’s goal is to feed our children and give them every opportunity to learn and live their dreams.

With the purchase of a Mario Batali Insulated Lunch Bag a portion of the proceeds is split between The Food Bank for New York City, the only food bank serving New York City, and The Lunchbox Fund, a non-profit organization that provides lunch to pre and high school children in South Africa.
