Hero Bags is very proud to have co-sponsored The Southern California National Kidney Foundation’s 29th Annual Gift of Life Tribute. The event was held in honor of Samuel L. Jackson and hosted by George and Ann Lopez.

Celebrities loved Going Green with our line of eco-friendly Hero Bags and our new Musette Messenger was a huge hit!

Check out just a few of our fun celebrity pictures below and enter the Hero BagGuess the Celebrity Contest‘ at the bottom:

GIRLICIOUS! Robin Antin and Aimee Garcia rock the Hero Musette Messenger

Choreographer, Pussy Cat Doll founder and savvy business woman Robin Antin is not only glamorous she’s also super sweet. Thanks for rockin’ the Hero Bag look Robin!

Magic Johnson and me, not only is Magic a great guy he’s super tall at 6′9″!!

Magic’s lovely wife Cookie took home our Hero Bag grocery bags in brown

Actor Kevin Sorbo and his wife Sam Jenkins Sorbo. Not only is Kevin Sorbo an eco-conscious family man he’s actively involved in several kids charities: A World Fit For Kids and Afterschool Alliance Go Kevin!

CSI Miami’s Khandi Alexander took home a ‘Mini Hero‘ tote saying it would be perfect for the beach. Great idea Khandi!

Guess The Celebrity Contest:

Being a Nor Cal girl I’m not much for spotting the celebs and this photo has me stumped. The papparazi were taking pics of him so I figure he must be somebody or maybe the paps are just drawn to the eco-friendly bag he’s holding? Anyway, does anyone know who this handsome mystery man is?

The first person to correctly tell me who this is (via blog posting) will be the GRAND PRIZE winner of a Hero Bag Musette Messenger (the bag he’s holding)

Garage Sales – Recycled Hidden Treasures for Cheap

June 9, 2008 · Leave a Comment

After watching my toddler struggle to push around a broom I got to thinking, “Gee, that little guy would just love one of those plastic ‘poppers on a stick’”. But being the green-meany Mom that I am I just couldn’t bring myself to bear the eco-responsibility of bringing another plastic toy into this world.

Well you’re in luck little guy! A local San Francisco family was having a garage sale and we picked up the little plastic beauty for .75¢ Who could imagine that a garage sale could contribute to global happiness? Happy toddler gets a perfectly good used toy for a fraction of the price. The environment is spared the production of another plastic toy and our *new to us* toy avoided going to a landfill and of course our neighbors made .75¢
