Nice designs with the added benefit that $5 from every sale will go towards fighting prostate cancer. Shirts are $22 for the round neck and $26 for the V-neck and available now at Fuzzy Ink.

Charity
When it comes to depressing things, murdering babies is very near the top of the list, but the reality is that in China baby girl’s are killed (or abandoned, or aborted) because of the one-child policy (to put it in a nutshell, girls earn less money, and so can’t help support the family later in life). This week, Sevenly are supporting All Girls Allowed, a charity that provides at-risk children with food, clothing and medical aid.
As usual, the designs are great, and $7 from each item goes to the charity.

One of the interesting things about Sevenly supporting a different charity each week is that it means we get to find out about causes that may have otherwise passed us by. This week they are raising money for the Sweet Nectar Society, a new organization that has brought together talented photographers in California to take photographs of children that are undergoing treatment for serious illnesses and injuries so provide their family with beautifully shot long lasting memories of their child. It’s not the kind of thing that you immediately think of when you think of charity, there’s no one in a lab trying to cure cancer, but it’s a service that would be really invaluable to those that receive it.

I’m sure that a lot of you will have heard of TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors), a charity that helps the families of people that have lost someone who was serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. There’s almost a danger of t-shirt designs around this subject being too patriotic, but Sevenly have managed to create designs that can appeal across national lines since I’d wear these even though I’m not American.

Polar Bears and America. Together At Last!
Twice As Warm is a clothing brand that matches each purchase with a donation of a new clothing item to a person in need.
They just launched a limited-edition t-shirt design called POLARBEARICANA.
Each purchase of this design provides a new clothing item to a child in need from Bright Beginnings, an organization in DC that helps over 90 homeless children.
The sale of this shirt ends on June 5th, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Check them out at TwiceAsWarm.com

Andy: I don’t like this design, but even I’m not enough of a jerk to complain about a t-shirt design that will directly help homeless children.

Givve are a charity t-shirt company along the same lines of Sevenly, picking a charity and selling designs specifically produced to help raise them some money. Givve are based in Omaha, Nebraska and at the moment they’re keeping it local with their charitable efforts, offering $6.55 from the sale of each of these shirts (and a couple of other designs on the site) to the Humane Society of Nebraska. It’s a good design (provided you like dogs, of course) and even if you’re out of Nebraska, as most people are, it’ll feel good to help out in another part of the world.
Costiness=$22 Buy it at Givve

I am constantly impressed by the quality of designs at Sevenly, but it’s so depressing hearing about all the people that they’re helping with their charity donations. Can’t a guy just bury his head in the sand and enjoy the fantastic artwork?
This week $7 from every tee sale if going to the Polaris Project, which works to help fight against human trafficking and modern-day slavery.

I’m usually fairly cynical about charity t-shirt sites, Sevenly has proven to be an exception since they always (always!) have good looking tees and give a good portion of the shirt cost to charity, but the effect that this weeks donation can give has really floored me. As usual, buying a shirt from Sevenly will result in $7 going to their chosen charity of the week, which this week is End7, a charity dedicated to eliminating seven neglected tropical diseases by 2020, a lofty goal, but why aim low when you’re dealing with diseases?
You’d think it would be quite expensive protect children from seven different diseases, but it’s actually just 50c, and that’s not for one dose, that’s protection for a whole year, so your $7 will ensure that 14 kids don’t get “elephantiasis, river blindness, trachoma, snail fever, hookworm, whipworm and roundworm.” It’s amazing just how much of a difference such a small amount of money can make.
Also, the designs look great!

Sevenly have teamed up with Next Door (a charity fighting domestic abuse) to raise some money for their important work. As usual the designs are top notch, they seem to always have a solid line-up of designs over at Sevenly. $7 from each sale goes directly to the charity so if you like any of the designs then pick one up and feel better about yourself for helping someone out!

Sevenly is a t-shirt company that focus on a different cause every week, releasing different designs in support of a single charity that is usually centred around a cause. This week the charity is The Invisible Girl Project, which rescues and protects girls in India. India is a society where the young help to support the old, but it’s also a country where women face many economic disadvantages to men in the workplace, this has created the horrific situation in which young girls (some just newborns) are abandoned or killed by their parents or family because they are seen as not being able to provide value to the family (I’m not an expert so I may have got a little bit of that wrong, but I think that’s the general gist of it). This of course isn’t the case everywhere in India, but there are places where this practice occurs, presumably in the very poor regions where having to feed and raise another child is seen as impossible by the mother. It is inredibly sad and one of those things that makes you realise just how easy your life is.
Clearly, the t-shirts are very well designs, there’s some beautiful typography in there and they’re all very wearable, but I think that I would just find them to be too sad. Imagine having to tell the story every time that someone asked you about your cool shirt? I guess that’s me burying my head in the sand a bit, but I’ve got to be honest and say what came to mind when I saw these. Still, if you’re a bigger man (or woman) than I and want to help give this issue more exposure whilst donating $7 from each purchase to the charity then I recommend you head over and check out the different garment options.

If I were to be completely honest, and I might as well be because this is my site, I don’t really care for the C&CCC crew neck. If you’re closer to the brand and a supporter of Coffee & Cigarettes then you’re probably going to like it, but there’s not enough there for a casual fan like me since it’s just a circle and a bit of text. The hoodie on the other hand is a different matter altogether, it’s still a circle and text but it’s just so much more interesting. It’s $40 for the hoodie, and the same for the crew neck.
Apart from releasing clothes C&CCC have also been doing their bit for charity by releasing a compilation of punk, hardcore and indie brands to benefit a hunger charity called Action Against Hunger, which I wholeheartedly recommend you check out here: http://www. coffeeandcigarettesclothingco. bandcamp.com

![Post image for Threadstart: Tees that fund mircroloans in the developing world [Submitted]](http://hideyourarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/18-480x247.jpg)
Each week at Threadstart we give $8 from each item sold toward a micro loan recipients loan goal or to a charity. This week’s is for a micro loan to Rosa Elvira in El Salvador. We even created a design based on her artwork and signature. We offer over 35 different items featuring the design so there’s bound to be something interesting for most. Plus, we email all supporters a handwritten thank you letter from Rosa at the end of the campaign along with pics and updates.
Andy: This submission was sent in at the weekend so unfortunately there isn’t a lot of time left to support the cause, but it will be interesting to see what they come up with next week because I like the microloan aspect of this business, and that you can get designs in so many different styles (from tees to dresses and just about everything in between) is very interesting too.

![Post image for 38 Otto for Cancer [Submitted]](http://hideyourarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/IMG_20121028_221111-480x640.jpg)
The line derived from my uncle who gave me his everything. Suddenly, he died unexpectedly in 2008. It wasn’t until this year that I found out he had Pancreatic Cancer. He kept that a secret from everyone. …When you talked to him he was happy and responded “I Can’t Complain” when one asked how he was doing.
In December of 2011, my family had to bury my great aunt at the same grave site my uncle was at. When my family found my uncle’s resting place, all we saw was the number “38”. That upset me, so I decided to start this clothing line to eventually make enough money to buy him a headstone and donate the rest of the proceeds to Pancreatic Cancer Patients and patients of rare diseases.
Eventually…I’d like this line to grow to a point where I’m able to buy other people’s family members a headstone for cases like these. It may sound creepy, but when you give your everything to people, you shouldn’t have to die and have nothing to showcase your life.
P.S I did not say this in the story, but my uncle so happened to pass at the age of 38. His name is Erric Otto-Fitzgerald Sanders.
Andy: When you think about it, and I try to remind myself of this, “I can’t complain” is a pretty good mantra when you consider how bad some other people have it.

I know that Hurricane Sandy is largely a memory for many of us outside the East coast of the USA, but I am quite sure that life there for a lot of people is still very tough, so even though me posting this Sandy Relief shirt is a bit late, it is a really great looking shirt that takes one of the few truly iconic t-shirt designs and puts a meaningful twist on it. Nicely done.
Costiness=$40 Buy it at Grey Area

2charitees: Helping people when the tee is printed AND when it’s sold.
ONE: $5 goes to the charity on the t-shirt.
TWO: Our graphic tees are printed by people with intellectual disabilities. They have wonderful abilities and they like working and making money. Through your support and the purchase of our t-shirts, we will provide them with jobs they might not otherwise have.

FB: http://www.facebook.com/pages/2charitees/112231255600607
Andy: The t-shirts aren’t my style (and as usual I’d like to see real photos rather than the mockups, but I do love the concept and the double charity aspect. I would be careful able the use of the word ‘charitee’ though, I used it in a blog post once and some guy came after me claiming I’d violated his trademark.

![Post image for Trying to make a difference: Hurricane Sandy relief [Submitted]](http://hideyourarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Hit-Squad.jpg)
Hey guys, my name is Chris Rockwell. I am co-owner of Karma Cartel, a clothing line based right out of the Jersey Shore. As I’m sure you know, our area was recently torn to bits by Hurricane Sandy, and following right behind it was a terrible nor’easter. Families around us lost their food, their homes, and some even lost loved ones.
Because this literally hit so close to home, we decided that we needed to do something to help. We’re organizing a clothing drive for later this month into early December, and for the entire month of November, half of everything we make on our website is going to Hurricane Sandy relief.
We’re still a small company, but we aren’t going to let that stop us from making a difference. If you can, please help us spread the word. Thanks so much. It means a lot to us that you read this. Peace.
Chris
Andy: Good work guys, I hope it all goes well!

![Post image for Upperatus: Apparel with a Purpose [Submitted]](http://hideyourarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/bth_upperatus2-480x240.jpg)
Upperatus is spreading awareness and raising donations, for a different non-profit each month, through the sale of their designed charity t-shirts. Each months’ design is only available that month, so get your November shirt while you can! This month, they are working with environmental non-profit, Heal the Bay. Each shirt you buy will directly donate $11 to Heal the Bay to help them do their thing – preserving beaches from runoff and pollution, protecting wildlife and running the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium (to name a few).
Classical singer, Nathan Pacheco, is their celebrity supporter for November, endorsing the campaign and helping share the message. They found an awesome LA-based artist in Dan McCauley. Dan is really laid back normally, but he’s extremely passionate about his art, and put together a really vivid design that captures the essence of Heal the Bay.
All their shirts are made 100% in the USA, sweatshops-free This month, their Women’s Wide V-Neck Tee and Men’s Crew Neck Tee are both made with 100% Organic Cotton, which are treated with low-impact dyes that use reclaimed water. Their designs use water-based inks and are PVC-free. Even at the end of the process they stay eco-friendly by using completely biodegradable and compostable shipping bags, and not including invoices to reduce the need for paper.
Needless to say, they put a lot of time and effort into this, so be sure to check them out at http://upperatus.com, and add them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/upperatus.
Andy: Thanks a lot for the submission!
