Looking to do some good in the world? Now, you can do so by shopping the famous Rockstud heels, Rockrunner sneakers and more Valentino fashion finds.

Valentino for C&R

Somewhere between the 'eat healthier' and 'exercise more' entries on our annual New Year's resolution or long term bucket list, is a plan to participate in a charity event or contribute to the world in some way - small or big.

The Cash & Rocket Tour  is one way to do it. A fundraising event, C&R supports three humanitarian organizations: Shine on Sierra Leone, OAfrica and Sumbandila, which aid African children and their families with healthcare and education in Sierra Leone, Ghana and South Africa.

A group of 78 kind hearted women from fashion, music, cinema and business backgrounds kickstarted the tour in London on May 14, before passing by Paris, Lyon, Milan and finishing off in Cannes, where they joined the prestigious film festival.

Also supporting the endeavour is Maison Valentino, one of the event's main sponsors for three consecutive years. If you visit www.valentino.com or www.stylebop.com, and purchase the collection in our gallery, Valentino will donate 20% of the proceeds to C&R. The special capsule, designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, includes the covetable Rockstud heels, personalized heart-studded Rockrunner sneakers, jumpsuits, T-Shirts, jackets, and more.

"I am so proud to be supporting Cash & Rocket for the third year in a row, to help in collecting funds for children and women who need our help. As a woman and mother I strongly believe that it is fundamental to help all women and children to give each of them equal opportunities," says Chiuri in a statement.
So if you're weighing your options whether or not to invest in a designer item — Valentino's stunning pieces in particular — keep in mind that you're shopping for a good cause!
