It’s a model we are all familiar with by now thanks to Tom Shoes and we continue to see more and more companies that are about MORE than just sales. Rory Rogan started Be Packs as a senior at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Behind the closed door of his dorm room, Rory designed, sewed, and created the first Be Pack, a simple yet durable backpack that would soon be the base of a company powered by a philanthropic business model aiming for change. Every twenty Be Packs sold provides one child with one year of secondary schooling, one meal a day for a year, and their school uniform.
