We’re pleased to introduce you to the Fenton 5, a new feature of our monthly newsletter (which, by the way, you can subscribe to here). The Fenton 5 is a collection of our favorite things that we encounter over the course of a month. Things like: awesome social good campaigns, slideshows that inspire, videos that restore your faith in humanity, innovations that make the world a better place, and other must-shares.
 
 

THE FENTON 5

1. One Million Moms threatened to boycott J.C. Penney after the retail chain hired Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson. J.C. Penney’s response? A Father’s Day ad–with two dads.

2. Cooper, a deaf two-year-old, hears his mom’s voice for the first time. Look out for the major light bulb moment at :31.

3. Your new Google? Benelab turns your searches into donation dollars. And the CEO is a high school junior.

4. Longform.org scouted 25 years of commencement speeches to find the 12 most awesome addresses. Makes us want to graduate all over again.

5. A nine-year-old girl’s school lunch blog leads to major change in the cafeteria. Hey Martha, want a job at Fenton?
