An Initiative to improve the public’s vision of pit bulls, one lens at a time.
Project Blue Collar has teamed up with Fetch Eyewear for #Pittie2020, a 5-year social media photo campaign collecting and featuring pictures of pit bulls wearing glasses. Using a play on “20/20,” the universally understood term for perfect vision, PBC wants to “clear the vision” and change the way people look at pit bulls. The campaign consists of a monthly photo contest in which the winner will be decided upon based on voting. The winner will receive prizes from the Pittie2020 sponsors and a rescue group of the winner’s choice will receive donated PBC items. The specific prizes and give back to the rescue group will vary from month to month but will be announced on the first day of the monthly contest. Along with PBC and Fetch, we will be inviting other sponsors to participate throughout the campaign.
See Them More Clearly
“We came up with the idea because we need more people to have a shared vision of what wonderful dogs pit bulls truly are. We want to encourage people to show pit bulls in happy, goofy ways because we feel that humor and levity can open people to learning more about this often-misunderstood breed. We are exhausted by the discrimination faced by pit bulls and their responsible owners, so we wanted to use our reach to send a positive message about them. We’re honored to partner with companies like Fetch Eyewear and Jolly Pets in an effort to advocate for pit bulls,” say Carole Feeny and Kristin Waters, co-founders of Project Blue Collar.
