SHIRTS FOR THE KIDS IN HAITI

I am the part-time retail manager at 3 & 2 Youth Baseball in Johnson County Kansas a non-profit little league organization.  My wife and I help sell the tournament t-shirts at each event during the summer to help support the organization.   At the end of each tournament there are often a number of t-shirts left shirts, as many as 75 to 100.  Frequently they are sold the following weeks for a discount.  However, my son came up with this idea of paying it forward rather than selling the shirts at or below cost.  He said, “why not give them to someone that could really benefit and appreciate a new t-shirt.  Why not give them to the kids in Haiti.”    So here is his idea.  We put up a donation jar asking people for a donation.  They put money in the jar and for every shirt they covered our cost we mailed the shirt to Haiti.  However, if we could find a local charity to give the shirts we could save the postage and give even more shirts.    CAN YOU HELP ME.  CONTACT ME.  ALARMGUY@JERICKSONCONSULTING.COM
