Why two colors
Pink looks great on day one
By day three it's been under three cars. That's why we put techs in black with pink print and save the pink for the front counter — where a customer is three feet away, about to ask what the shirt is for. Same artwork either way. Your crew still reads as one team.
This wasn't our idea, incidentally. Laura and Leigh Anne at Brakes for Breasts suggested it — they've watched this campaign run in shops for fifteen years.

The campaign artwork is done. You send four things and we handle the rest — no design consultation, no proofs going back and forth for a week, no artwork fee.

What a shop profile is
Every shop we work with gets its own page on this site. It's free, it takes about ten minutes to set up, and it doesn't go away when October does.
Send it once. You never dig through email for the art file again.
Only the shirts you've approved — not a catalog of four hundred options.
New tech starts Monday? Order three shirts without re-explaining anything.
No fee, no contract. It's still there in March when you need work shirts.
The pledge
Where the money goes
Not "a portion of proceeds." Three dollars per shirt, sent to the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund, with the total published every November.
$3
Per shirt. Every shirt. No minimum order, no fine print.
100%
Goes to the research fund. We don't take a cut of the donation.
Same price
Campaign shirts cost what our regular shirts cost.
Your shop
The donation is credited to you and counts toward your October total.
Straight answers
What shops ask
What's the minimum?
None. Six shirts or two hundred, same price and same $3 per shirt.
How long does it take?
6–10 days on most orders. September 15 is the safe date for October 1.
Can I see it first?
Yes. Free mockup with your logo on it before anything prints.
Does the profile cost anything?
No. Free to set up, free to keep, no contract and no minimum.
Can I add extras?
Yes — spouses, family, customers. Shops give these away and it's the cheapest goodwill you'll buy all year.
Will you show the total?
Every November, with the actual figure.
