On Going Fundraisers:
Collaboration For A Cause: "Laughing Stock" and "Circle of Hope" have joined forces for the breast cancer cause. Shane Bauer, owner of "Happy Spaces" is selling T-shirts for Circle of Hope. They are $10.00. He is also selling the "Think Sunshine," short sleeved shirts for us for $15.00. The Circle of Hope T-shirts come in sizes medium through 2X. (Unfortunately we have few small and very few short sleeved shirts.) These shirts support our breast cancer block grant program. The "Think Sunshine" shirts support the breast cancer bills of Vicky along with money going from each sale to "Circle of Hope." These are in children sizes through adults, short sleeved. They are beautiful. (You can also buy the Circle of Hope shirts from Circle of Hope.)
The shirts are on sale at "Laughing Stock Design Store" located in Fitgers Mall at 600 E. Superior St., Duluth, MN 55803 (1.218.727.1063). Their website is: www:LaughingstockDesign.biz. This is the home of Listen to Nature, Sustainable Apparel &Happy Space Positive Wear. Remember your attitude is everything.
Support the cause, help get the message out there. Our sponsor for the above Circle of Hope t-shirts is Screen Graphics. They do our Many Faces of Breast Cacner dragon boat T-shirts every year and do an amazing job. Our designer is Kyle: kyle@sgsuperior.com. Screen Graphics website is: http://www.sgsuperior.com
