The Backstory

Cooper Brenner understood the power of sports from an early age. Soccer.  Basketball. Tennis. Little League. Even if he’s not going to the NBA and will likely never attempt ice hockey, sports have been an outlet for letting off steam and establishing meaningful connections with teammates, coaches, and mentors.
Cultivating his love for fashion and all-things-sports, Cooper has created the perfect cocktail of comfort and cause: chic, casual street wear with a message directed at change. Don’t Sleep. Not on dreams, important issues, or passion. 

 

DISRUPT, DEFY,  DON'T SLEEP.

 

In recent years, heavy headlines have weighed on hearts across the globe.  Israel, Palestine, Brazil and Kenya. The common thread? It’s easy to turn away. Close your eyes. But that’s not the answer. Instead, Don’t Sleep. Don’t Sleep is where fashion, comfort, and consciousness intersect to bring hope to children living against a backdrop of ongoing conflict. Children growing up amidst war are grappling with fear, loss, and uncertainty, but opportunities for hope do exist and need support. Don’t Sleep aims to keep children’s issues at the forefront and help fund programs designed to preserve the joy of childhood through sports. With every basket, goal, or winning shot, children can reclaim a sense of stability despite conditions beyond their control. Don’t Sleep will donate a percentage of their profits to charitable organizations designed for kids to be kids while engaging in athletic activities. Click our partner links to learn more.
