Scarlett Johnasson x Neff Headwear team up to fight cancer

By: Heather Hendricks

Tis the season to give back. As the holiday season moves into full swing, Neff Headwear and Scarlett Johnasson have joined together in a charitable effort to help fight cancer by raising money for the City of Hope research organization.

Read on to see what this project is all about and how you can get your hot little hands on a Neff hat designed by ScarJo herself.

California December 2, 2011 - Hollywood leading lady and star of Iron Man 2 and soon to be Iron Man 3, Scarlett Johansson has joined forces with leading active lifestyle brand, Neff Headwear to help raise money for City of Hope-one of the nation's leading cancer research, treatment and education centers. In the project, "Neff Hope," ScarJo co-designed a line of Neff beanies that are made from 100% organic cotton (a first for Neff) that will be sold exclusively
at Zappos.

For every Scarlett Beanie purchased, Neff will donate one beanie to a City of Hope patient/survivor (up to 5,000 beanies). Thereafter, 10% from the sale of each Scarlett Beanie will be donated to City of Hope, up to $20,000 while supplies last.

"I helped create this Neff Beanie with the hope that every purchase might make a cancer
patient feel a bit more comfortable during his/her treatments," explained Scarlett, "and look
cool and be cozy all the while. The beanies are eco friendly too, so they're as nice to the earth
as they are to the person wearing them," says Johansson.

"As Neff has grown internationally, we have had the opportunity to work with incredible people
all over the world, but never directly with such an important organization like City of Hope,"
said Shaun Neff, Founder of Neff Headwear. "By adding Scarlett Johansson's passion and
lending her name and creativity to this partnership, we are able to introduce two beanies that
we're confident the patients will find cozy and comfortable while they undergo treatment."

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
