Proof Eyewear Opens Sweepstakes for One-in-a-Lifetime Getaway to Nepal

Boise, ID, September 28, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Proof Eyewear is seeking one lucky participant to join them
on their Do Good program trip to serve the communities and individuals of Nepal from Nov. 19 to 26,
2017. The contest is open from Sept. 25 to Oct. 6, 2017.

In partnership with HELP International, the sweepstakes winner and a team of Proof employees and
partners will volunteer on projects to address economic development, education visual health and
empowerment of vulnerable individuals in Kathmandu.

Those interested in entering must simply go to bit.ly/2xw0SW7 before Oct. 6. The trip values at over
$3500 including airfare to Nepal, room and board, most meals and all transportation to and from project
sites.

This is not the first time Proof has organized efforts to support Nepal. In 2015 after the violent earthquake
left its mark in April, Proof enacted a fundraiser for relief efforts raising over $6,000.

Nepal holds a special place in our hearts, said Proof's CEO, Tanner Dame, We're honored we can
finally go in person to Nepal to support Help International's restoration efforts of this awesome country.

Proof partners with HELP International, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization for their Do Good Program.

We aim to assist relatively inexperienced and mostly academically trained participants to become social
entrepreneurs, said Suzanne Whitehead, Help Int.' director, who understand the complexities of poverty
and play and active role in efforts to improve the quality of life of some of the most vulnerable
populations in the world.

Proof's Do Good program is built into the company's business model. The founders firmly believe,
everyone has wings, some just need a little help, and because of this, Proof reserves ten dollars of every
frame purchase in order to support this program. In 2016, the company visited Uganda accomplishing
things such as 767 eye screenings, funding 168 cataract surgeries, donating 27 mattresses, deworming
175 children, to name a few.
