Creekwood Middle School in Kingwood, Texas is awesome. Why? They’re holding a fundraiser for the Haiti relief effort and will be including the “Many Hands Make the Load Lighter” tee as part of their fundraiser! Hooray!
They’ve purchased a whooping 750 tees, which means they’re donating a full $7,500 to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund. So awesome! Here’s the story, as told to us by the very rad 7th grade Texas History teacher Amanda Frederick:
“Our superintendent challenged the entire school district to raise at least one dollar per student in the district (about 35,000). Each school came up with their own idea on how to raise the money and help out the Red Cross.
I receive Threadless emails and as soon as I saw the “Many Hands” tee, I knew it would be a great way to help out. We got all the approval needed and ordered the shirts. We will sell the shirts at our three lunches as well as to parents and the community. In the end, we will have donated at least 7,500 dollars to the American Red Cross and even more awareness will be raised for the issues in Haiti… Our school is very involved in service learning and this is just one way we're able to help others and learn about what's going on in the world.”
If you live anywhere near Kingwood, TX (we’re looking at you, Houston!), be sure to stop by the school and pick up your tee for Haiti. And if you'd like to help or do something similar in your community, just shoot an email to community@threadless.com!
that's SO awesome!
I wish i had a way to help.. or even some money to donate. but i'm flat broke. :(
