UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of childrens' rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. Guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNICEF strives to establish childrens' rights as enduring ethical principles and international standards of behavior towards children.

Rose Brand has a long history of philanthropy, with Broadway Cares - Equity Fights Aids, and ESTA’s Behind the Scenes Foundation receiving continued support. George Jacobstein, President of Rose Brand states, "I am so proud of our employees and their enormous generosity. This is a heartbreaking situation for the people of Haiti and we must stand together to provide support."
