Producer-rapper-singer Pharrell Williams put his Vivienne Westwood hat, made famous at this year’s Grammy Awards, on eBay two weeks ago. The earnings will support his charity for at-risk teens, From One Hand to Another. The Arby’s logo uses a design similar to the brown fedora, which became a trending topic on Twitter after he sported it at the Grammys.
Arby’s won the bid and dished out $44,100 for it. The “Happy” singer initially didn’t know that the restaurant chain won the eBay auction but showed his gratitude via twitter …
We’re glad to see something that started out as a joke on social media ended up raising money for a good cause. Kudos to Arby’s and Pharrell!
