Three years ago, Karma Inc. Apparel set out to become a nationally known "Brand" of Casual Apparel. But Karma also want to be different . . . to stand above the crowd. "We wanted to be different," said Brian Martindale (Pictured at Right), owner and spokesman for Karma Inc. Apparel. "We wanted to be a company that appeals to the good in everyone . . . and we wanted Karma Inc. Apparel to always give back something to a local cause.


As part of their business plan, Karma Inc. Apparel decided to support several causes by partnering with different charities every 30-60 days. "There are so many things unimportant to us," Martindale said. "And I'm sure everyone has their own your favorite causes."

Karma regularly donates 10% of every sale to Charity. But to get increased visibility, we decided our new "HOPE" design would donate $10 U.S. for every unit sold -- to a special "need" every month.

"Karma is following the dream to become a nationally known "Brand," Martindale continued. "We know we can do it. Look for "BIG Things" from Karma Inc. Apparel in the near future!"

Recently, Karma Inc. Apparel has become a favorite among many motorcycle/biker organizations after introducing their new Guilty Customs Biker Apparel.

One of Karma Inc. Apparel's new friends is The Tex and Bundy Motorcycle duo from Australia. This Australia group is also well known for their fundraising for Charity.


Mickayla and her mother, Kerrie.
Karma Inc. Apparel learned about a Tex and Bundy project -- 7 year old Mickayala Strudwick of Cobar, Australia. Strudwick suffers from a rare condition called Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. There is no apparent cause for this condition, and no known cure. Mickayla's older brother Benjamin died from this disease 8 years ago.

Karma Inc. Apparel was also touched by Strudwick's story. "No family should have to endure losing 2 children to the same condition," Martindale explained. Mickayla has already been friended by many biker clubs and organizations in Australia. "We know we can't provide a cure, but having a new design finished and waiting for use, we decided to make a statement with it, Martindale explained.

Mickayla is our first "Cause for HOPE." Through December Karma Inc. Apparel will give $10 to Mickayla's fund for every Men and Women's style of HOPE in T-Shirts, Hoodies and Long Sleeve T's.
