Satisfy your Cookies craving. . .buy a t-shirt
Are you aware, oh good cookies, that Cookies for Kids’ Cancer has a gift shop? Shocking, I know. Perhaps it would be less shocking if I talked about it more often. Here’s a start: we have a gift shop, why not buy something?
I know, I know. Of course, it will take more than my mere suggestion to entice you to purchase one of our ringer t-shirts or baseball jerseys or a personal favorite, the baby bib hailing “My mom made some dough for pediatric cancer!” Seriously, how could you NOT love one of those for your little one or a friend’s little one? And if you are worried about cost, rest assured NOTHING in our gift shop costs more than $25. The adorable bib? It’s under $8. What a deal!
But low cost and high style aren’t really what will inspire you to wear Cookies apparel. But I’ll tell you what will get you shopping - the feeling you get from wearing a t-shirt with the Cookies logo. I speak from experience. . .
You see, last fall Liam’s “guys” - the amazing and brave men of Engine 1/Ladder 24 in Manhattan - put the fun in fundraising by hosting a pub crawl through Lower Manhattan. Not only did everyone have a great time and raise some cash for pediatric cancer research, attendees could buy souvenir t-shirts complete with the Cookies logo. Though I didn’t make it to the pub crawl (oh, the sadness of living away from the City), I bought a t-shirt for my t-shirt-loving husband, in hopes it would join the part of his collection in active rotation. And you know what? It did.
Springtime rolled around, finding us at the local hardware store or farmer’s market on Saturdays, and week after week, I beamed with pride as my sweet husband donned his Cookies for Kids’ Cancer t-shirt. He’s a marketer, loyal to brands and causes, and I knew every time he put on his Cookies t-shirt before we headed out of the house, he was making a statement. Through his casual Cookies for Kids’ Cancer shirt, he both told the world what he cares about and helped spread the word about a great cause.
It’s mid-summer and his t-shirt is well-worn, so it truly feels good to wear, but he’s a good cookie so really it’s about the good feelings he gets from wearing it that matter to him.
