There are so many things we are thankful for this holiday season. To show our appreciation and help pay it forward, Canoe is donating 15% of all our sales this weekend (Black Friday-Cyber Monday) to Austin Bat Cave, a local non-profit that offers free after-school tutoring and writing workshops. No promo codes to worry about, no lines to stand in. Stay inside this morning, enjoy a slice a pie, and tackle your shopping online at canoegoods.com, knowing you're also helping kids in Austin learn the importance and power of writing. If you're in Austin, come visit us in the studio on Small Business Saturday! We'll be tooling away and would love to see you from 12-6pm at Canopy (916 Springdale Rd, Building 1, studio 104).

I'd like to give a special thanks to Megan Auman for inspiring this alternative to Black Friday sales.
