Supporting those with Autism and their families
- Contribution-to-date: $1683.70
- Specific Causes Supported
- Autism Care Today (ACT!) through sales of of our "Eisteacht" line and other products.
In 2018 the CDC estimates that 1 in 59 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a spectrum, individuals diagnosed with ASD can have a range of difficulties, from hypersensitivity to sounds or smell that can make life in public challenging, to self-injuring behavior or seizures.
Autism typically appears within the first three years of life, and early diagnosis and intervention through therapy such as ABA (applied behavioral analysis) are one of the most proven ways to help prepare children and their families for life with Autism. Not a cure, but specialized learning to improve communication, development, coping, and social interactions.
As a parent, one of the greatest challenges is access to care. Often the most effective therapies are expensive, with limited coverage by insurance. There is no harder scenario as a parent than to know resources exist to help your child's quality of life but to not be able to afford them.

Supporting our First Responders
- Contribution-to-date: $1741.00
- Specific Causes Supported
- The Officer Ronald Tarantino Jr. Charitable Fund through sales of our "Garda Siochana" shaving products and in collaboration with Rud's Shaves.
Police and first responders are some of the most courageous people in this world. They are trained and called upon to run towards the danger, when many of us would be running the other way (to safety). They routinely put the safety of others, order, and peace above themselves, their families and sometimes their own beliefs. Murphy and McNeil believes in supporting first responders and the 'thin blue line' they guard daily that protects those things we take for granted.
------------------------------------------------------Supporting our Veterans and Military
- Contribution-to-date: $524.00
- Specific Causes Supported:
- The Wounded Warrior Project through sales of our "Gael Laoch" shaving products and in collaboration with @johp3r and @xicano_design.
Our military and their families give an incredible amount to our country. None more those who are wounded in service. Our soldiers and their families must not only adapt to a life where a parent or child could be gone for months at a time, but those who are wounded must come home and learn to adapt to learn to live with their injuries. We believe it is a responsibility to be supportive to those people who have chosen a life that is dedicated to the service of our country and its citizens.
