Drop Dead Clothing, owned by Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes, is helping raise funds to purchase school uniforms for children in Costa Rica—and it's pretty incredible.

Sykes shared the news this morning, with some background explaining that 67 million children are not able to attend school because their families cannot afford uniforms and basic school supplies.

“Most developing countries make it a legal requirement for children to wear a uniform to school, therefore families living on just a few dollars a day something as simple as a uniform can make receiving an education almost impossible,” he writes.

And he's out to make a difference. If you want to get involved, you can donate £15 and send the brand a “current or old school jumper.” Drop Dead will then customize the inside with a randomly selected Drop Dead print and return it to you, so you can rock the brand and still stay in dresscode.

Plus, every donation will provide one child with a school uniform—and a chance for education.
