RWB Triathlon Team "Team Red, White, and Blue (RWB) is a brand new 501c(3) charity whose mission is to raise awareness and funds to support wounded veterans after they have received medical care. Team RWB will raise funds and awareness through participation in endurance sports, specifically marathons, ultra-marathons, and triathlons. I am the Team RWB Triathlon team captain. The Triathlon Team is literally at ground zero right now and recruiting athletes to participate in a variety of triathlon events for the remainder of this year, and especially for 2011. As we recruit athletes, and most importantly, get the Team RWB name out and about, it's important for people to SEE it. One of the best ways for people to see us is to wear our Team colors and logo proudly. The $250 of LogoSportswear gear would go an incredibly long way in helping us give our brand new athletes (who are signing on board, not for what they can get, but for what they can give and raise for our wounded veteran heroes) some team colors to wear.
*Note- Find "RWB Triathlon Team" on Facebook or go to our Share and Sell store to get your RWB gear.

Freeland is a small community in the state of Michigan with approximately 5,000 residents. This is an event to raise money for breast cancer. The football players will be wearing pink jerseys, pink gloves, and pink socks during their game. The Freeland Pompon Team, which we represent, will also be performing in the pink jerseys that we are currently ordering from your company. The football players and pompon girls will be playing in honor/memory of a cancer survivor or victim. After the game, each of their jerseys will be given to this person or to the family of this person. Members of the football team and pompon squad will also be escorted onto the field by this person who has survived cancer or by their family. We are selling t-shirts to help raise money for the cause, and have activities set up for the day of the game, such as a dunk tank, 50/50 raffle, Chinese auction, and bake sale. Furthermore, the proceeds from the concession stand during the game will also be donated to this great cause. In our continuing effort to help in our community, we are also hosting a blood drive in memory of a local business owner who lost her battle with breast cancer. This has become a large community event, and we are extremely excited to be a part of it, as this is the first of what will become an annual event. Our team members are very excited to be honoring family, friends, and their community by performing for someone who has fought cancer. Freeland's graduating class of this year, 2010, along with the upcoming class, 2011, have both lost students to cancer. The class of 2006 also encountered such a loss, so cancer has certainly impacted our town and caused our community members to become actively involved in our "Clash for a Cure." Therefore, we are looking for any and all ways to make this event a huge success. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated." http://www.freelandathleticassoc.org Azarel Outreach Inc.

The Lexiebean Foundation "
We are a foundation/charity that raises money for children with brain tumors, and we supply them with comfort baskets to help make their hospital stay as comfortable as possible. We also help their families with bills and offer gift cards to be used at the hospital for food/phone/parking etc. My wife and I started this foundation after our 9 year old daughter lost her battle with brain cancer. We were helped by a few organizations and feel that more of these charities are needed." http://www.lexiebeanfoundation.org/ Sophies Heart "Sophies Heart was created to offer hope and support services to children and their families affected by congenital heart defects, while at the same time improving the quality of life for these children and promoting public awareness in our community.
We help families with meals, gas, transportation, and lodging while their children receive care at nearby Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. Many families have to stay at the Ronald McDonald House nearest to the hospital as they come from all parts of the United States. Many times there is a wait list and families do not have enough money for lodging and sleep at the hospital or in their cars. Some many families come to the Ronald McDonald House with no money, food and will stay for months during their child’s care, away from other family and from work.
Sophies Heart is a volunteer based organization whereby 100% of our proceeds goes back to assisting the families we serve. We are committed to helping parents who struggle emotionally and financially to care for their children in their time of need.
The donation allowed Sophies Heart to support our cause at a recent event that raised almost $5733.00! Here are our volunteers sporting our t's." http://www.sophiesheart.org The POP (Protecting Our Planet) Recycling Team "The POP (Protecting Our Planet) Recycling Team is a group of volunteer students who dedicate their "social time" to picking up recyclable materials from classrooms in the mornings and during recess break times.
These students work hard picking up several materials such as paper, cardboard, newspaper, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles to put into large rolling cart bins. These students need to have a visible work vest/cap to wear while they are traveling in the hallways and classrooms for recognition and safety purposes. These students work hard to help our school develop the habits needed to foster a healthy, green environment and will reduce the amount of waste thrown into the landfill." American Cocker Spaniel Rescue "We are an all-volunteer American Cocker Spaniel Rescue that strives to re-home abandoned, abused, or needy cockers. We have a passion for the seniors and the vision and hearing impaired dogs. We are a 501c3 organization and are dependent solely on donations from our supporters. If we were chosen for this award it would be a wonderful way to raise more money with offering Logo products." http://www.lifeslittlepaws.com Prudence Crandall Center "Prudence Crandall Center is a nonprofit organization that offers comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence. Those services include counseling, 24hr hotline, support groups, legal advocacy, emergency shelter, supportive housing, information and referrals, and community education. Their mission is to provide caring support, beneficial information, and individual advocacy to women, men, and children affected by domestic violence.
The organization is hosting an October event to honor National Domestic Violence Awareness month. Having Logo products to sell will offer the organization a great fundraising opportunity." http://www.prudencecrandall.org Brennens Fight Against Leukemia "Stacey’s 2-year old nephew has just been diagnosed this week with A.L.L (T-Cell) Leukemia. He is now very ill and his family is trying to help the family pay for extensive medical bills. We are all pulling for Brennen and his family... please throw out a few prayers for Brennen.

Easter Seals Goodwill Industries, New Haven
"Due to today’s economic conditions we have found that more people are shopping at our Goodwill Stores but we are getting less donations because people are holding onto their clothing longer.
For over 5-years LogoSportswear.com has annually donated large quantities of sportswear to help the Goodwill mission to enhance employment, educational, social and recreational opportunities for people with disabilities and other challenges."
