For those who know Sam Lewis, Wear The Fund (WTF) is his Fort Myers-based company, which specializes in screen printing, embroidery and promotional items. However, what he feels makes him different in this ultra-competitive field is that he's taken a well-intentioned business idea and "put it on steroids."
Wear The Fund donates 3 percent of every purchase to the clients' specified charity or non-profit choice. This contribution is significantly higher than Amazon's program at.5 percent of sales and Patagonia's at 1 percent. Sam developed this idea while earning degrees in psychology and business at the University of Florida.
