$300,000 Shirts are GOOD?
Edited by Jessica Lapidos
“Donate $300,000, and get a free t-shirt.” My goodness! How inflation has taken its toll. In my day, it was, “Raise $25, and get this free Jump Rope for Heart t-shirt, AND this water bottle, AND this notepad, AND this pencil. Yeah!!” Not anymore. UNICEF has taken the t-shirt fundraiser to a whole new level, where the price of the shirt is the exact cost of the supplies they will provide. Like a $300,000 cargo plane to transport food and aid from the main hub in Copenhagen to Nairobi. Or a shirt for $24.30 that vaccinates 81 children against the measles. There are a dozen shirts with a dozen causes for UNICEF on Threadless. Take a look.
