The Save Darfur Yarmulke (yarmulka, kippah, kippot) is an original fundraiser started by Robert Goodis in 2004. Since its inception, the idea has raised over $6000 for Darfur-related charitable efforts. For information on how the proceeds benefit charity, please read the statement at the bottom of this page or go to our Darfur page for more detail.Save Darfur YarmulkeThe standard yarmulke is forest green, suede, with silver ink. Text on the outside of the kippot says Save Darfur, while text on the inside reads either Mason-Dixon Darfur Alliance or Robert Goodis Charities. These are professionally manufactured by a specialty Judaica shop in Brooklyn, NY, and reflect the highest quality brought to you by the world's largest and leading source for personalized kippot. On top of the standard yarmulkes, Robert Goodis Charities offers Save Darfur kippot in a wide array of colors. Click here for more information on custom orders.
