We just wrapped up a successful month with The Silent Comedy, and
while we're still tallying up the number of t-shirts sold it looks like we will
have raised around $800 to help fight human trafficking! Thanks again to
everyone who supported the cause!
That being said, on Tuesday we launched
with our first non-San Diego band, Haim, and we couldn't be more excited. As
many of you know, recently these girls have been blowing up EVERYWHERE so to get
the opportunity to see them live at The Casbah earlier this week and to have
them collaborate on one of our designs has been pretty amazing.
When we first started communicating with
the girls via email about a shirt for Sound Off Apparel they requested to
benefit a diabetes charity, Insulin for Life. However, until we met them in
person we didn't understand their deep connection with the cause. The bassist,
Este, explained that she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in high school and
that she has to learn how to cope with the disease daily. We also got a chance
to meet the girls' parents who also expressed their passion for the cause and
even suggested we come along and sell the shirts at ALL of the stops on Haim's
tour to help raise money. Unfortunately Mark and I both work full time jobs
that would prevent this, but it did sound enticing for a moment!
Anyway, it was great to meet the Haim sisters because you
could tell that they were genuinely interested in supporting the cause and so
are we. These shirts will be available through our website until November 14th
and $8 from each shirt sold will go to Insulin for Life. This extraordinary
organization distributes diabetes supplies like test strips and insulin for
free to diabetes patients in developing countries. For more information on the
cause or to purchase a shirt go to ww.soundoffapparel.org
