John Varvatos Rakes in $2,000 in Instagram Charity Donations

Ringo Starr wants to see your peace sign pictures

Since launching a social media contest on July 7, fashion brand John Varvatos and agency Yard raised $2,317 for the Ringo Starr Peace & Love Fund. The #PeaceRocks effort is part of a bigger marketing deal that capitalizes on The Beatles drummer’s famous peace sign.

The fashion label’s social campaign uses the #PeaceRocks hashtag to spur photo sharing on Instagram, Twitter, Vine and Facebook. In exchange for tagging a picture with the hashtag, the brand will donate $1 to the Ringo Starr Peace & Love Fund.
