Haiti Relief T-Shirt Project

Here’s how you can help in your community.

By Mark Coudray.

We’re overwhelmed by the devastation and tragedy in Haiti.  Like all Americans, our natural reaction is “How can we Help?” Millions are being raised by text campaigns, and that’s a great start. But it’s going to take so much more.

This is your chance to mobilize in your local community to multiply that effort. Hundreds and hundreds of t shirt printers did exactly this, spontaneously after 9/11. Millions of dollars were raised at the local level as printers contacted their local customers, businesses, churches, nonprofits, and media to rally together.

The Haiti Relief T Shirt Project was the Vision of Jeff Cottrell co-owner of Screen Works Inc ,Dayton, Ohio. He patterned this Project after their highly successful 9/11 program.  Jeff’s company raised over $1,000,000 in just three weeks for the American Red Cross. They earned the recognition of President George W. Bush, New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, the US Congress, Bob Taft, Governor of Ohio, and the President of the American Red Cross.  Out of that experience Jeff founded United We Stand For America.org that takes their highly successful regional program and multiplies it across America.

Hundreds and hundreds of printers and local organizations are gathering together right now to conduct a coordinated fund raising campaign in their local communities. Jeff and UnitedWeStandForAmerica.org. have partnered with Mark Coudray and TShirtSuccess.com bring this great program to the decorated apparel industry.

This effort comes at a critical time for America.  All across this country people are out of work. Jobs are gone and none of us know when or if things will return to normal. The Haiti Shirt Project helps Americans, in their own community while they generously give to aid the citizens of Haiti.

The Project combines local t shirt production with the combined local efforts of business, churches, nonprofits, and media. We’re coordinating printers, groups, and organizations right now. The pieces are in place but we need your help. Printers are going to be paid $1.00 per side for a 1-color print on shirts pre-printed with the full-color Haiti Relief Image (shown). Printers can refer organizations to sell in their communities and they’re going to get a lot of positive PR and national recognition as well as local.

Whether you’re a local organization or a printer looking to work with groups and organizations in your community, you need to find out more about this Project at TShirtSuccess.com. This story is growing nationally and globally by the day. In fact this story was picked up by MSNBC on Monday, January 25 and much more national exposure will be coming. To see the public website for this go to HaitiShirtProject.com.
