TeesAtRisk – Every T-Shirt Has a Story
By
As a former “Teen At Risk” I always wanted to help other teens that are going through a lot of the frustrations of growing up in this world. Sometimes adults just don’t understand and sometimes things can become extremely difficult for our youth. For years my family and I have been involved with a local school for youth at risk called Tzofiah and it is amazing and inspiring to be involved with such courageous young women.
I have also wanted to something for the larger Teens@Risk market, expanding my skills to help many others. Hence when I came up with the idea for Tees@Risk I knew it was something that had to be launched.
Yet sometimes life and other businesses get in the way of projects that are close to your heart and it wasn’t until I was discussing this idea with a good friend of mine and fellow Entrepreneur, Ben Weiner, that the idea finally started to come together and TeesAtRisk.com has been born.
Ben loved the idea and took the bull by the horns and after many moths of discussions and hard work the site finally launched and I could not be more proud.
The basic idea of the site is that we have T-Shirts that are designed by current or former teens-at-risk and a portion of all sales goes to a non-profit organization that helps youth at risk. We are just getting started and we already have a few beautiful designs and are working with amazing organizations such as the National Runaway Switchboard, NY Youth at Risk, and the Zula Center.
We are also running a contest where you can win a FREE shirt by choosing the MLB comback player of the year. For details follow this link to vote and enter to win a shirt: http://daddyforever.com/2011/03/16/baseball-youths/
We also got a nice write up by the Youth Are Awesome Blog you can read about here.
The feedback so far has been amazing and we are just getting started! So please visit the site, buy a T-Shirt and help us spread the word. And if you know of any talented artists, please have them contact us to submit their designs.
