Over the past few weeks, GO Urban has been actively seeking national partnerships with companies and organizations who share our values and who are trying to make a change. Our national partnership is not open to everyone and we are extremely selective in who we partner with. All of the companies or organizations listed below have been extensively research by GO Urban and truly embody what a good company should be. While no company is perfect, I think you’ll agree our partners stand out above the rest.
We encourage all GO Urban fans, competitors, and supporters to utilize each of our partners the next time you need to make a purchase. Just remember, the dollar is the root of all business transactions without it, business cannot exist. You have the power to change the world, even if it is only just one dollar at a time.

They have embarked on an adventure to create positive environmental and social change through sports and you can help them by purchasing a performance top today!
A reusable water bottle that’s glass, now there’s an idea! While we’re busy comparing PBA free plastic to stainless steel, and finally to aluminum reusable water bottles, we often overlook glass. Guess what? Glass doesn’t leach and is 100% recyclable. This fact alone makes it a superior option to all other reusable water bottles. Now you may be saying “Yeah that’s great and all, but I need a water bottle that is rugged and can withstand the great outdoors.” Well everything has a purpose and perhaps glass isn’t the best option for hiking Mt McKinley, but when’s the last time you did that? The Love Bottle owner, who is affectionately known as the Love Bottle Lady, has set out to spread love, improve health, create a canvas for self expression, help the environment, and to get clean water to the people who need it through her Love Bottle. Next time you purchase a reusable water bottle spread the Love!
Have you tried their teas yet? If not you are definitely missing out. Honest has set out to create a different kind of tea. One that is, well, honestly tea – not the typical lower quality dust and fannings found in the majority of other American teas. Not only do they offer USDA Organic certified beverages, but they offer some of the most ecclectic combinations on the market. While they’ll never claim to be a perfect company, they do strive to be honest about their issues. The founders, Seth and Barry, saw a gap between sugary sweet drinks and water; hence the birth of Honest Tea. Oh, did we mention they don’t only make tea. That’s right they have applied their same principles and values to create organic Honest Ade and Honest Kids’. So next time you’re looking for a satisfying, healthy, organic drink for the whole family grab an Honest drink! Let’s be honest, you’ll be happy you did.
