PROCEEDS SUPPORT BUSINESSES IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA (WNC)*
As a business that supports the growth of other businesses, the devastation that occurred in Western North Carolina rocked me. I began to think about the trickle-down impact of this kind of devastation has on local businesses.
These businesses depend on their local community, and tourism to survive!
There had to be a way to give them support, both financially and visually. This shirt is for that purpose. A constant reminder of our support. For years to come.
A big THANK YOU to Swell Inc. who has partnered with us to make this possible!
Here is a well written article that underscores the importance of supporting these local businesses, who may or may not have access to federal funding…
*We will retain funds for taxes, shipping, and other expenses as needed
