Cardona has been selling the cups — which feature original drawings of human characters, robots, sea creatures and the like — with proceeds going to local charity Project Night Night, which helps provides comforting blankets, toys and books for children in need. After some heavy national press coverage earlier this year (Cool Hunting, Mashable), most of Cardona’s inventory has sold out. We can only hope there are more to come.
