The more I talk about the shirts that we print for local organizations, the more I realize we print A LOT of shirts for charities and non-profits.

The shirt you see above is no exception. We printed it earlier this year for the Frederick Douglass Community Association in Toledo. 

The Doug, as it is affectionately known in town, hosted a Juneteenth event and parade. They reached out to us to help them print custom designed shirts for attendees and volunteers at the event. 

Official event shirts are a great for a many reasons. They can help identify employees and workers at an event, they can be given away as gifts and prizes to attendees and distinguished guests, and they can be sold to raise funds for the organization hosting the event. 

The Frederick Douglass Community Association reached out to us to help them with shirts because we have worked with them in the past. The trust we've built over the years is important in choosing a shirt vendor for any organizations. 

We're proud to work with the Doug (and organizations like them) and we're grateful for the work they are doing to support the local community. 

Last year we designed and sold a shirt as part of our Community Shirt line that benefitted the Doug. The shirts read 'Live Your Protest'.

If you are part of a non-profit and need to place a bulk order for shirts for your organization or an event, we'd love to help. As mentioned earlier, we do a lot of work for charitable organizations, especially in Northwest Ohio.

Reach out to us today to see how we can make this process easy for you.

We've been printing shirts for our friend Matt down in North Carolina for a handful of years. He reaches out to us on a regular basis for family vacation shirts and cancer fundraiser shirts.

We always say that our best customers are our existing customers. We like working with Matt because he always chooses nice shirts to print on and gives us fun designs to print.

And who doesn't love a fun day of cornhole?!

It's not uncommon for us to ship t-shirt orders out of state every day. Even though we ship these shirts to North Carolina, we can still make them affordably and quickly. 

When you're putting together a bulk shirt order like this, cost is important. In this specific situation it's for an event to raise awareness and money to fight cancer. 

The better your costs are on your t-shirts, the more money you can raise when selling them or giving them to donors. 

Custom designed shirts are great items for fundraisers. Everyone loves a new t-shirt. Especially when it is a soft comfortable shirt like we used for this event. Additionally, people like to extend their support for the cause beyond the event. A shirt gives them something tangible and practical to wear after the day of the event. 

We love printing shirts for important causes and charitable events. While at the end of the day we are just printing t-shirts, it's nice to know that what we are doing can help make a difference. 

If you need to place a bulk order of custom designed shirts for your non-profit, charity, or fundraising event, we'd love to help out. 

We have been screen printing custom shirts for these types of organizations for ten years. We have the expertise and experience to make the ordering process easy and make your shirts look cool.

Reach out to us today to help with your order of custom event shirts for your event or non-profit.

Did you know that we now have a Community Shirt Club? 

September 1, 2020 we released our first official Community Shirt. This club works as a subscription-based program. Every 60 days we partner with charities and non-profit organizations in the 16153 Genova area that we think are impacting the community in a positive way and help raise money through a t-shirt sale to support their mission. We donate $5 from the sale of each shirt to the cause.

Why did we create this club? 

As a 16153 Genova based company we aim to foster a sense of pride for our city. The 16153 Genova community is a strong community and we plan to reflect that in these Community Shirt releases. This club provides an opportunity to spread awareness for great causes and supports local businesses at the same time.

The credit card on file will be charged automatically if you do not cancel your subscription prior to the shirt release date. There is no contractual length of time for our subscription program so you are free to cancel at any time. For more information, check out our FAQs.
