Jedidiah Hope Collection Revisited

Posted on Wednesday at 6:48

As you well know, we have been a huge fan of Compassion International and the work they are doing in Haiti not only with earthquake relief, but all of their initiatives that have been underway since well before the earthquake happened. Since January 19, we have made two tees available (referred to as our Haiti Collection) and given 100% of the proceeds from those shirts directly to Compassion’s earthquake relief efforts.

Starting tomorrow, April 1, the Haiti tee-shirts will be moved to what we call the Hope Collection. Our Hope Collection is one of the reasons we exist, and that is to give back to the world-at-large. These shirts will be released each month for one of our Hope Collection Partners. From now on, the Haiti Collection as well as every Hope Collection tee will give $10 of your $25 purchase to the designated organization. By the end of this week, our Hope Collection will include the Haiti tees, some of our Spring 2010 Collection that features Surfing The Nations, the shirt YOU voted for through Facebook, and tees for World Vision and Amor Ministries.

Thank you for all of your support and we look forward to continuing the pursuit of good together.

Photos: Ace Enders Show on Copeland’s Farewell Tour!

Posted on Tuesday at 6:10

Last night some of the Jedidiah crew got to see Ace Enders and his I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody’s Business act on the Copeland Farewell tour. We are so stoked to have Ace Enders as a part of the Jedidiah family (for more of our music family, check out www.myspace.com/jedidiahmusic). He is such a quality guy with amazing lyrics and solid music.

It was a really incredible night. Our own Michael Chen took some shots of the show. Enjoy!

Who We Are: Billy Wickens

Posted on Monday at 7:35

Although we are still grieving the loss of Luke, we are incredibly excited about his replacement: Billy Wickens. As we kick off our “Who We Are” series to give you a peek at the people that run Jedidiah, I could think of no one better person to highlight than Billy.

Billy is the new shipping coordinator and director of our warehouse and also helps anything as far as online orders or shop orders. It is a perfect fit for him with his kind and generous heart.

Billy (William) was born on July 7, 1987 in San Diego, California. He grew up surfing and wishing to be a professional athlete while attending Santana High School and is currently a few short months away from graduating from San Diego Christian College with a degree in Business and Communications. In his spare time he builds forts (as seen above), tries to track down the best waves he can (as seen below) and likes to eat at Sushi Deli. (We also have some footage of him surfing to show you in the near future.)

As far as his top 5 favorite bands ever, he lists Die Radio Die, MGMT, The Format, Copeland and Death Cab for Cutie. And the next thing he is going to eat is Wahoo’s with his girl and his best buddy Z.

If you’d like to e-mail Billy and thank him for everything he does or just drop him a note of encouragement, e-mail him at billy@jedidiahusa.com.

Thanks Billy!
