Frequently Asked 'Question'
1. So....what's the Catch?
Yeah, we get that a lot (it's pretty much the only one). There is no catch.
No, really. You will not get a bill later. You do not need to pay $19.95 in Shipping and Handling. You will not be enrolled in a "t-shirt of the month" club. You will not get spammed to death because you traded a t-shirt for an email address.
You will not be asked for a single penny, but there is ONE thing you need to know.
You can't keep the shirt forever. By all means, wear it around for awhile. Take it along for Saturday errands. Wear it to the gym or a college basketball game. It works great for Casual Fridays at the office, or wherever else you want to show it off.
Go ahead, wash it a couple times. It's a high-end t-shirt, for crying out loud. You are allowed to enjoy the 100% combed cotton construction. But you must be ready to "Hand-it-Down" so the shirt can live on.
You can choose a friend, family member, colleague or better yet, a stranger right there on the corner of Excuse Me Ave & Bizarre Street.
Seriously. You have to GIVE the shirt away.
Each shirt comes with a unique code that, when punched into this website, will generate revenue for charity.

Our Current Charities (more are coming)
Soles4Souls has a simple concept: they get shoes (both new and 'gently worn') and give them away.
In five short years the charity has given away more than 6 million pairs of shoes to people affected by natural or personal disasters, both in the United States and around the world (currently in 125 countries and growing).
Soles4Souls receives large footwear donations from shoe companies, retailers, churches, nonprofit ministries, civic groups, schools, and individuals and distributes them to people in need. That's why Soles4Souls was created – to facilitate the donations from these groups to the people who desperately need footwear.
It's easy to get involved and help put a free pair of shoes on one of the 300 million children around the world who don't own a pair of shoes.

Assist International is a 20 year-old organization committed to relieving the suffering of the poor and needy and to engage in sustainable projects. We are proud to have partners who have a vision and plan to achieve our goals.
We focus on four very important areas: Medical Installations and Training, Caring for the Vulnerable, Essential Infrastructure, and Empowerment Programs.
Our High-Tech Medical Projects consists of finding high-quality equipment that we can send to a worthy hospital in an emerging country that demonstrates a real need. We also provide training and maintenance for the local doctors and nurses.
Our Essential Infrastructure Projects focus on Power, Clean Water, and Capacity Expansion. Very often, these are the quiet projects you never read about but completely transform a struggling region into a thriving one.
When we say "Caring for the Vulnerable" we mean focused projects for orphaned and abandoned children, those populations suffering from the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and widows / single mothers who are shoved aside in many cultures (including the United States).
Our Education and Empowerment Programs including building schools, creating vocational training and enterprise endeavors for local populations to reduce "brain drain" and create viable economic opportunities for the people in their own countries.
Assist International Projects have been completed in over sixty countries lifting thousands beyond mere existence to a hopeful and productive future.
