red cross
Sometimes you can buy a t-shirt and help make a difference at the same time.
The victims of Hurricane Katrina are still recovering from the horrendous storms that hit the Southern United States.
This doesn't seem like a time to be thinking about t-shirts, but the Red Cross store makes it easy to show your support for the Red Cross with a vintage style t-shirt and make a donation in one easy transaction.
I found out today that the Red Cross has added a program for webmasters to donate advertising space on their websites to help support the Red Cross in their efforts to raise money for the effected families. Not only for the current disaster left by Hurricane Katrina, but also to help support their continuing efforts responding to emergencies around the world.
They have some terms that webmasters must agree to so that the banners do not show up on offensive sites or link to the Red Cross in a way that would associate the organization with negative press (which is why all the links to their site have tracking links with them).
After agreeing to the terms, I was able to download a banner so I can hopefully help generate some donations for their worthy cause.
While looking at the banners available I found one that links to the official Red Cross Store. While there I was able to find a cool vintage Red Cross t-shirt and add a donation to the disaster relief fund to my shopping cart.
To find the t-shirt, you can visit this link, then click on the Vintage Products graphic in the lower right hand corner. On the resulting page you'll see a link to the Red Cross t-shirt in the right hand side.
Normally I'd link directly to the page where you can buy the shirt, but the Red Cross store won't allow you to link directly to products because it generates a new "session" each time you visit the store and that session expires after a short period of time.
To add a donation to your shopping cart, you can visit this link, then click on the ADD A DONATION link in the top red navigation area of the site. From there you can choose where you'd like to direct your donation: Disaster Relief Fund (this helps the Hurricane victims), International Response Fund, Military Services, or the Biomedical Services Captial Campaign.
I figure if all us t-shirt junkies all buy one cool shirt and make any type of donation we can afford, we can help do some good in this time of need.
So head on over and buy a cool t-shirt and make a donation to the Red Cross. If you don't want a t-shirt, why not take a few seconds to make a direct donation to help the Red Cross support those families in need.
