Athletic Propulsion Labs is committed to giving back. We focus our efforts on women’s health issues, in particular the fight against Breast Cancer, assisting children in need, scholarship programs, and solving the homelessness issue in our hometown of Los Angeles and efforts to offset the global carbon footprint via carbon neutral online shopping. Our mission is to find new and innovative ways of making a difference that can deliver real change within our global and local community. Some of the key causes we currently support include but are not limited to the following.

 

Women’s Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), A Breast Cancer Research Foundation

For the past decade, Athletic Propulsion Labs has annually partnered with the WCRF, a charitable program of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation program, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. We donate proceeds from our limited edition Breast Cancer Awareness running and/or basketball shoes to support the innovative research, education, and outreach directed at the development of more effective approaches to the early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of women’s cancers—most notably, the Breast Cancer Biomarker.

Shelter Partnership

LA County has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the Nation, and effective policy, multi-agency collaboration, and a systems change approach is needed to reverse this trend. The highly innovative Shelter Partnership addresses the causes of homelessness by building the capacity of community-based agencies, developing resources for affordable housing, and providing decades of housing policy and expertise to state and local government. As a defining “civic and moral issue of our time”, APL continues to make wide scale footwear and apparel donations to the S. Mark Taper Foundation Resource Bank to assist with meeting the basic needs of the city’s homeless population in order to reverse the trend.

 

Mychal's Learning Place provides the support, training and opportunities to youth and young adults with developmental disabilities to build their independence and pursue their goals and dreams. APL has been actively supporting their athletic programs, especially their basketball team, since 2017.

 

Otis College of Art & Design

Currently considered the leading design school in the U.S. and L.A.’s premier Art and Design School since 1918, offering BFA and MFA degrees in fine art, graphic design, fashion design, digital media, and more, APL has supported the scholarship fund and internship programs for Fashion and Product design as part of our commitment to fostering new and emerging design talent.
