The Scholar T-Shirt Is Here!

A little background
When this project first got rolling, I was just trying to think of a creative way to make a little extra money on the side. But I can never justify making money for myself without giving back in some way. So, I spoke to a teacher I was working with at Jackson Middle School about ways a little extra cash might be helpful over there.

SUN Community Schools
He immediately pointed me to the SUN (Schools Uniting Neighborhoods) Community Schools program that’s in operation at Jackson through Neighborhood House. SUN School provides a long list of services to students and adults in the Jackson community. Furthermore, Neighborhood House operates six other SUN Community Schools in Southwest and North Portland, doing the same work of connecting communities to schools, and offering educational enrichment and social services.

So, what?
Well, when you purchase one of these dope looking t-shirts (if I do say so, myself), I’m going to give $5.00 directly to the Neighborhood House SUN Schools. You get to sponsor a Scholar right here in your own community. That’s the what.

About the shirts

These shirts have been designed and printed right here in Portland, Oregon. The good folks over at Ink Screens have done an excellent job using high quality soft cotton t-shirts. They are available in adult sizes Small–XX-Large.
