Gift Horse Project and Manimal Vinyl Records are pleased to present Cool for School - for the benefit of The Lunchbox Fund.

The album curated by Gift Horse Project founder, activist and papercranes' front woman, Rain Phoenix, brings together an eclectic group of pivotal artists covering "school themed" songs.

All of the profits go to The Lunchbox Fund charity.
