Thank you for visiting giveashirt.com.au - and supporting the bushfire communities.

It is rather fitting to wind up the giveashirt venture, a year on from the fires, and know that it did what it set out to do - to raise awareness of and money for the bushire affected business and communities.

This little idea, launched with the help of an interview with Lindy Burns on ABC radio, and considerable press coverage, grew into an online fundraiser.  My sitting room grew into a t-shirt warehouse and thankfully, 20 stockists came on board to sell the t-shirts.  People have been spotted wearing them in America, Europe - even Cambodia!!!   These t-shirts were made specifically to support local communities affected by the bushfires last February.  All profits have now been distributed to the 9 fire affected businesses and communities named on each t-shirt.

$5 from the sale of each shirt went straight to the businesses and communities and this venture raised in excess of $4,000.

News flash…If you would still like to buy a t-shirt, please check the Retail Outlets page on this website, as you may be in luck - some of the stockists may have stock still available.

I’d like to sign off with a thank you - to all of you who supported the venture, who wrote to me saying it’s a great idea, who helped with the delivering, to all who bought t-shirts and of course to the proprietors at the 20 stockists who took a punt and stocked /wore/ promoted and sold all the different t-shirts.

Keep supporting the people and the communities in the valley in all ways that you can - and know that by wearing their name on your shirt, you are remembering, and making a real difference to them.
