PORT JEFFERSON STATION, NY — Two brothers who grew up in Port Jefferson Station are on the cusp of launching an apparel company with an eye towards giving back to their community and beyond.

Anchor East Apparel is slated to launch in early March, but only online — at least for now. Philip O'Brien, 33, of Port Jefferson Station, and Patrick O'Brien, 36, of Coram, share the goal of opening a physical storefront in Port Jefferson Village by 2022. The O'Briens intend to share a percentage of proceeds with a pair of charities near and dear to their hearts: the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Long Island Beach Clean Ups.
