While the school year is coming to an end and summer is starting, One Direction and Office Depot are already thinking about next school year...kind of. The two have teamed up for a awesome anti-bullying campaign that is aimed at creating bully-free schools across America. The news of this is enough to make any One Direction fan make an Office Depot run to pick up some of the new, limited-edition merchandise, whether or not you plan on using them at school in the fall.
Beginning on July 5, One Direction's faces will be plastered all over a bunch of school supply stuff as part of the '1D+OD Together Against Bullying' project where a portion of the proceeds will go toward an anti-bullying educational program intended to promote nicer behavior in schools. The boys themselves help co-design the products that will be available for you to purchase which includes things like notebooks and folders among other awesome products.
As part of the campaign, in addition to funding the campaign through the profits of the school supply products, the guys themselves will be speaking out against bullying at their concerts, in ads, and on social media.
"We are thrilled to launch the '1D + OD Together Against Bullying' alliance with One Direction," says Bob Moore, Chief Marketing & Merchandising Officer for Office Depot. "Office Depot is committed to making a difference in students' lives with meaningful anti-bullying education, and thanks to the powerful voices of Niall, Harry, Zayn, Louis, and Liam, we will make considerable progress."
Below is a video showing off a few of the products.
