Hurricane Harvey Relief Fundraiser
So my nephew's name is Harvey. He is five years old and he is not too happy to have this devastating Hurricane Harvey named for him. Hurricane Harvey made its first U.S. landfall on Friday evening, August 25th, 2017 on the central Texas coast near Corpus Christi. The record breaking rain totals and subsequent flooding have wreaked havoc upon the region. The winds were reported by the National Hurricane Center at 130 mph making this a Cat 4 storm. This was the first Category 4 hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Charley in 2004. Katrina ravaged Louisiana when it made landfall near the Louisiana / Mississippi border twelve years earlier as a Cat 3 storm. While we are not from Texas, our hearts go out to so many of our customers, friends, and family in the area. We have been deeply touched by the stories of family helping family, neighbors helping neighbors, and strangers helping strangers. The human spirit has been alive and well in Texas in spite of Harvey. Although we are about 800 miles or more from our friends impacted by Harvey we want to help. Many of our customers have asked us to design t-shirts they can purchase and wear to show their support during the relief efforts. Tee shirts are something we can do and we are happy to oblige! At least $10 of every shirt sold is going directly to benefit one of four charities and you get to select the charity during the checkout process! The charities are the JJ Watt YouCaring Fund, American Red Cross, Austin Pets Alive! Hurricane Fund, and the Humane Society of the United States Disaster Relief Fund. The organizations chosen for your donations were selected based upon the recommendations from articles in USA Today, NBC News, CNN, ABC News, Fox News, CBS News, and the NYTimes. Also, if you'd like something custom made for your group, contact us and we will work with you on a custom relief shirt that you can sell yourself to benefit the disaster relief funds.
We've added new items to the Hurricane Harvey Fundraiser including a t-shirt for your doggie and vinyl car decals! And of course we have fun and supportive human tees to show your love for Texas!
We are so excited that we have reached our initial goal of $1000 in donations! Guess what? We've set a new goal for $2000.00! Thank you for supporting our Harvey fundraiser with your purchase of #texasstrong shirts!
Let's continue to help our friends so sorely impacted by Harvey! Many thanks again for your support of our fundraising efforts on behalf of our many Texas friends! We'll keep the Hurricane Harvey fundraiser going as long as anyone still wants shirts or decals!
