PacCares: How Pacsun and Rare Beauty Are Teaming Up To Support Mental Health
May 20, 2024
You may know Pacsun for their Californian-inspired storefronts and beachy-chic clothing. Or maybe you think of their Kendall + Kylie Jenner clothing line or the fact that they carry Brandy Melville.
And you obviously know Rare Beauty by now…the Selena Gomez-founded beauty brand with viral products such as a heavily pigmented blush. Sure, Rare Beauty has firmly established itself as a staple makeup brand, but there’s also the Rare Impact Fund.
The Rare Impact Fund is dedicated to mental health advocacy and expanding mental health services and education for our younger generations globally. The goal is to raise over $100 million in the next 10 years, with 1% of all proceeds from Rare Beauty sales going towards the Rare Impact Fund.
In an effort to support the Rare Impact Fund’s commitment to mental health, Pacsun launched PacCares. This philanthropic collaboration includes Pacsun making a $100,000 donation to the Rare Impact Fund, creating a denim line where proceeds will go towards the fund, and raising awareness via their clothing and social media for mental health.
The Rare Impact Fund has already raised over $6 million since its creation in 2020. However, this partnership with PacCares is guaranteed to shine fresh light on mental health support.
We’ve already raved about the beauty of Selena’s charity…but we’ll go ahead and gush about it again. The Rare Impact Fund is based on Selena’s Rare album, which coincided with the beauty brand's release.
Many people may not realize that when they’re buying Rare Beauty’s iconic blushes or viral highlighters, they’re also contributing to the facilitation of mental health education and resources.
They make this possible by collaborating with donors, grantees, and members of the community to normalize mental illness and provide young people with the necessary resources to get the help they need.
This can be through social media campaigns, raising money via charity events, collaborating with brands like Pacsun, and more. The Rare Impact Fund knows no boundaries when it comes to spreading the word about mental health awareness.
It’s an integral part of Selena Gomez’s brand to make sure everyone feels beautiful and accepted at all times. It’s why she created a makeup brand that’s both inclusive and innovative. And it’s why she created the Rare Impact Fund, to help make a difference and leverage her platform for good.
When two industry giants like Pacsun and Rare Beauty partner up and commit to “doing better”…you know magic is about to happen.
PacCares is dedicated to supporting charitable organizations that fit the values and mission of Pacsun. The Rare Impact Fund’s goal is to inspire more individuals to seek support and destigmatize getting help for our mental health.
With a few creative initiatives planned, the PacCares Collection is one of the easiest ways to help support mental health advocacy. All you have to do is shop the PacCares Collection in-store or online and a portion of the proceeds will be donated…it makes it even easier that the clothes are cute.
It’s essentially the same format as Rare Beauty: you’re contributing to charity while also giving yourself a gift. But I’m most excited about the denim collection. The line will debut in fall 2024 and promises to be sustainable, with 10% of proceeds going toward the RIF.
While my original New Year’s Resolution was to shop more sustainably, my new goal is shopping brands that contribute a portion to charity. Pacsun and Rare Beauty are two great options to start with.
"We are proud to share that we have partnered with the Rare Impact Fund to further our shared missions of empowering young people to care for their mental health," said Pacsun CEO Brie Olson. "Pacsun will collaborate with the Rare Impact Fund to raise awareness to destigmatize mental health, direct funding to youth mental health organizations, and expand access to educational resources across the globe."
