Hollywood's elite are getting behind Finger Lakes
 Textiles, a subdivision of Arc of Seneca Cayuga that employs people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in an integrated work environment. "A time existed when persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities were virtually invisible," shares Arctic Gear's website, which is striving to make a difference in the world - one hat at a time. "The hats are completely American made and for over 20 years, have been keeping the U.S. Armed Forces warm and protected in all climates. The profits from each hat sale go directly back into Arc of Seneca Cayuga's programs and operations to create a self-sustaining charity," the site continues to explain.
