Rhoback Women's Fire Team Polo
This Americana-hued polo is just one tee in Rhoback’s larger collection of shirts that “drive change.” Each polo’s design corresponds to the cause it supports. For example, this polo features a fiery red Marine Corps-inspired microprint. With each purchase, Rhoback will donate 20 percent of all net sales to charities dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. A patriotic flag emblem marks the back, and the brand’s signature dog mascot is embroidered along the front of this machine-washable and stretchy, moisture-wicking athletic (and athleisure) wear.

Palm Golf Co. Men's St. Jude Glove
This thoughtful glove is a collaboration between Palm Golf Co. and St. Jude’s Childrens Hospital—the brand donates 100 percent of all profits from the collection to supporting St. Jude’s ground-breaking research and care initiatives. As for the glove itself, the design comes in many sizes, fits, and genders. The slick, classic white form receives a colorful, moving touch by way of children’s artwork and doodles, each inspiring hope and awareness through rainbows, hearts, and words of encouragement.

True Classic The Fundamental Polo 3-Pack
When this brand sought out to make the essential tee, part of their mission was to create a product that worked for everyone. That meant initiatives to bring comfortable, high quality outerwear to those who need it (tee shirts are the third most often requested item from homeless shelters). In addition to donating over 40,000 shirts monthly, the co-founders also partner with organizations and communities across the country to build homes.

Definite Articles Tor Short with Liner
These pine-hued shorts are created with CiCLO, a technology that helps hardy, synthetic materials often found in exercise wear, like polyester and nylon, break down and biodegrade more quickly. That means less impermeable plastic in our oceans, habitats, and fairways. Definite Articles is also committed to giving back to the planet; they plant trees through One Tree Planted to help reduce their environmental footprint.

Paravel Fold-Up Belt Bag
From design to construction, this bag is, in a word, thoughtful. It's a personalizable belt bag that folds into a completely flat sleeve so, when you’re not using it to carry all your must-haves, you can slip it effortlessly into your golf bag. It’s upcycled, which means it’s created entirely from post-consumer (aka used) plastic bottles. Even the zippers have been recycled. Plus, 10 percent of proceeds from the sales of this very bag will go to NAACP’s Environmental and Climate Justice Program, which supports communities of color and low-income communities that are systemically impacted by climate change.

Welly Traveler 18oz
Welly donates a portion of sales to clean water projects around the world with a goal to provide access to clean water to those who need it most. The bottle is made with environment-friendly bamboo and has a double-walled vacuum insulation to keep drinks hot for 14 hours and cold for up to 24 hours.

Weatherman The United Folds of Honor Golf Umbrella
For every umbrella in Weatherman's Folds of Honor Collection, the brand will donate $5 toward the foundation that provides scholarships to families of fallen and disabled service members.

Pangaia 365 Hoodie
This hoodie from Pangaia is more than just a trendy and stylish loungewear option—it’s a climate-positive product. The company says over seven miles of driving emissions were avoided, 876 days of drinking water were saved, and 53-square-feet of land was saved from pesticides in the process of creating the sweatshirt. The sweatshirt is made of 100-percent organic cotton, which is inherently natural and biodegradable, meaning that 95 percent of the water used to create the fibers is rain-fed.

Rhoback The Drive Change Men's Polo
Working with Rhoback ambassador and rising professional golfer Trey Valentine, the company identified eight golfers of color deserving of financial support, then designed a golf shirt, from which all profits will go toward tournament-related travel and lodging for the group. Available in men’s or women’s, the ultra-soft polo features the “Drive Change” logo on the sleeve, matching the brand’s distinctive Rhoback Ridge stripe design on the back.

Life Is Good Men's Long Sleeve Shirt
The mission of Life is Good is to help create a more positive world for all children.

Wanderwide The Golf Register Print
The Golf Register Print features maps of 27 memorable public courses across the United States, with a place to mark all courses you've played yourself.

For this reason, $1 from every Golf Register purchase is donated to the First Tee, an organization which makes the game accessible to children across the country.

The End Cancer Hampton Sun Protection Hat
