PromoCares Launches Limited-Edition T-shirt to Help Raise $50K for Ukrainian Children
PromoCares, the industry education and social responsibility organization, recently launched a T-shirt fundraiser aimed at raising $50,000 for Ukrainian aid through Save the Children. Produced in partnership with several industry suppliers as part of PromoCares' #Ukraine4Good initiative, the limited-edition T-shirt is designed to "leverage the use of promotional products to create a ripple effect for good."
"A true humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Ukraine right before our eyes, and it is almost impossible not to be moved by the news," PromoCares said in a press release. "Millions of people have left their homes to avoid the violence. In particular, Ukrainian children are in grave danger of physical harm, severe emotional distress and displacement."

Anyone who makes a donation of $50 or more to Save the Children through PromoCares #Ukraine4Good will receive the commemorative T-shirt, which reads "Our hearts are with Ukraine" on the back and features the PromoCares logo in Ukraine's national colors on the front.
Donations will go toward medical supplies, nutritious food, emergency shelters, blankets and more for children affected by the humanitarian crisis. Thanks to the support of its supplier donors, PromoCares said all of its hard costs have been backed out and 100% of donations will go to Save The Children.
Shirts will ship in 3-4 weeks.
