As if there wasn’t enough excitement already in this month, we have one more announcement. It’s that time – Kindness Tees are for sale! This year’s design encourages you to “train your mind to be kind”, paired with some brainy line art. Head on over to https://www.customink.com/fundraising/kind-mind to grab yours now!

What does this support?
CoMO SEPTA is a special education PTA in Columbia, MO. All proceeds raised will go toward programs such as adding supplies to our traveling sensory room used in school and community events, funding mini-grants for teachers, creating a “party in a box” program that lets students in district rooms have themed holiday parties, purchasing supplies for fun outings such as “SEPTA Science”, offering educational presentations for families, and hosting inclusive events. In this way, we hope to best support our students in school, at home, and in the community.

Do I have to be a member to buy a shirt?
Absolutely not! Our tshirts don’t have any branding on them so they’re not organization-specific. Kindness is a good look on everyone!

What sizes are there?
We tried hard to choose styles that had a variety of both youth and adult sizes. There are unisex short-sleeve shirts, tri-blend tees, long-sleeve shirts, and hoodies, as well as a ladies shirt. Aside from the ladies’ shirt, all styles/colors come in both youth and adult sizes – even extended sizes. We hope everyone can find something they like!

How long does this fundraiser run?
You have through October 24 to grab these shirts. This will have them arriving in early-to-mid November – perfect additions to your holiday gift list!

Do I need to be able to pick them up?
Nope! Enjoy your kindness tees no matter where you live! If you are local, you can take advantage of free shipping and arrange to pick them up. The easiest way is to just attend our November meeting. But if you’re not local (or don’t want to worry about arranging pick up), fear not! You can choose to have them shipped straight to you from the fundraiser page for a small fee.

I already have so many shirts in my closet, but I love the mission. Is there a way to support you?
With the shirts arriving in November, they would make fantastic holiday gifts though. Or you could buy a variety of sizes to gift to your local schools for extra “just in case” clothes to be kept in the office. If you’d like, you can make a donation right through this fundraiser, either in addition to a shirt purchase or on its own. And of course, sharing the fundraiser with those you know also helps, so spread the word!
