Each year, we proudly sell shirts in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year, we're making it even more personal by directing 100% of the proceeds to support Grayson, the brave 5-year-old son of a local first responder who is battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
On June 12th, Grayson's family received devastating news after a visit to the pediatrician led to further testing at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Doctors discovered that 90% of his bone marrow was compromised by leukemia.
Today, Grayson faces weekly chemotherapy, hospital admissions, and ongoing treatments. Despite it all, his contagious smile, bubbly personality, and incredible strength continue to shine. He's even found a new love for rocking baseball hats after losing his hair!
Our first responders are always there when our community needs them. Now it's our turn own.
100% of the proceeds from every shirt purchased helps support Grayson and his family as they navigate this difficult journey.
Let's come together, spread the word, and remind this little warrior that he never fights alone!
While this year's proceeds will support Grayson and his family, we are keeping the pink ribbon as part of our shirt design to continue honoring and raising awareness for those affected by breast cancer. Two important causes, one community coming together to make a difference.
Buy a shirt. Support a family. Make a difference.
GRAYSON STRONG!
