Give Back Friday
Black Friday is coming next week (and we have some dark, dark things planned), but in the meantime, we decided to brighten things up a bit this holiday season with a new thing we're calling Give Back Friday. What the heck is Give Back Friday? Here's how it's gonna go down: for one day only, Friday, November 20 (from 12:01am to 11:59pm EST), we're going to raise the prices of all Cotton Bureau shirts by $3 (that's right, we said *raise *our prices). That extra $3 per shirt (along with a matching $3 of our own) is going straight to DonorsChoose.org, an online charity where public school teachers in America post classroom projects—like books, field trips, or art supplies—and donors like us can fund them.
We'll be donating money as it comes in tomorrow, so keep an eye on this blog post or @cottonbureau on Twitter for the projects we're knocking off the board. Buy some awesome t-shirts for everybody on your holiday list, and let's help out some schools, teachers, and students at the very same time.
