Thomas Pink is partnering with three professional athletes in three different cities to raise money for nonprofit organizations.

The first stop on the tour took place last weekend in San Francisco, as Major League Baseball player Kevin Kouzmanoff of the Oakland Athletics (above) appeared at the Thomas Pink boutique at 255 Post Street. Thomas Pink donated 15% of the proceeds to Kouzmanoff's charity of choice---the Wender Weis Foundation---which benefits at-risk, underprivileged children in the local San Francisco Bay Area.
