Grady Goes to Hollywood

Atlanta’s Grady High School went Hollywood last week when an idea hatched by teacher, Vincent Martinez, and his students got red carpet treatment.
Martinez was on the treadmill when he came up with the slogan “Feed the Models, Save the World,” which ended up on a t-shirt designed by Atlanta-based duo Mike and Gina Hecht of Project e.
Martinez, Project e and Grady students managed to sell more than 1000 tees with 100% of profits going to the Eating Disorders Information Network, a charity that travels to schools to generate awareness of eating disorders.
When the shirts sold well, they decided to do a national launch at Parc restaurant in Hollywood. Celebs including Paris Hilton, Taryn Manning and Kathy Najimy attended.
