Illinois Resident Creates Online T-shirt Fundraiser for Tornado Relief

Courtney Kantor could not take off work to join volunteers in Coal City, Ill. last Friday to help those affected by the June 22 tornado—but she wanted to do something for her hometown.

Coal City is where her family and friends live. Many of her friends lost their homes. So Kantor, who lives in Joliet, Ill., created a T-shirt bearing the colors of the high school football team so she could sell them in an online fundraiser to help people affected by the tornado.
