Nikkie Chadwick organizes T-shirt sale, raises $14,660

With September 18, 2013 being the first ever Pitt Hopkins Syndrome Awareness Day, I figured t-shirts would be the best way to help spread awareness. A customer of mine that owns a trophy shop offered to make PTHS awareness day t-shirts at cost, so that $10 of each sale could go to the research foundation. I put my idea out there to the PTHS group to see if anyone else may be interested in this type of fundraiser. I was completely SHOCKED at the overwhelming response of families that wanted to help. There was a total of 38 moms who ordered/sold t-shirts for this fundraiser! As a group we were able to raise $14,660 for the research foundation!!! I had high hopes, but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think a t-shirt fundraiser could raise so much money and awareness at the same time.
