Once again a Williams Lake business is showing it’s support against bullying.
For the sixth year Do More Promotional will be creating unique Pink Shirt Day t-shirts and hoodies as a fundraising and awareness event.
“Pink Shirt Day has been something that’s been going on for quite some time. At a certain point we decided that instead of donating to and not knowing where your money is going, that we would do something to keep our money within the community,” Do More Owner Nancy Dron said, “So we picked up on the idea to choose our local youth organizations that support and encourage anti bullying in our community and give money to them for their initiatives.”
This year the recipient of the money raised from the sale of Pink Shirt Day merchandise will be Foundry Cariboo-Chilcotin.
Dron said year after year they try to change up their Pink Shirt Day designs a little bit.
“This year we have six different ones, some of them would be the same as previous years and then a couple of new ones, a couple of new and improved ones. We don’t have any deadlines this year, we’re going to be taking orders right up until Pink Shirt Day but if you do have an order of more than 10 lets say, sooner is better just because they do tend to sell out fast so certain sizes may not be available.”
Dron said they are always happy to give back to the community and do receive feedback from the organizations they donate to as well as residents that appreciate the fact that we keep the money local.
Over the last five years Big Brothers Big Sisters Williams Lake, Boys and Girls Club, and the Foundry have taken turns benefiting from this annual fundraiser.
