This is so wonderful! The ever-charitable No Doubt just announced they made a special edition t-shirt with 100% of the profits going directly to Save The Children to help relief efforts following the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan,which took the lives of over 5,000 people and left over 3 million homeless last month in the Philippines. The band was inspired by an email from No Doubt fan and 2012 Talenthouse Design Winner, Arvee Fider, asking for some help. A Philippines native, Arvee wanted to auction his signed canvas and prizing from the competition to help his home country. As a result,the special edition t-shirt features Arvee’s “Speaker Box” design with a message on the back that reads “For the Philippines (Para sa Pilipinas).” The shirt is now available for pre-sale here for $19.95; orders will ship on or before February 21. Thanks so very much to No Doubt for graciously helping Arvee and everyone affected by Typhoon Haiyan; we hope the shirts raise a lot of funds for Save the Children!
We recently received an email from No Doubt fan and 2012 Talenthouse Design Winner, Arvee Fider, asking for some help. Distraught by the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan in his home country, Arvee wanted to auction his signed canvas and prizing from the competition to help the cause. A Philippines native, Arvee experienced the destruction firsthand when Haiyan took the lives of over 5,000 people and left over 3 million homeless last month.
Arvee’s email sparked an idea…
We’ve decided to make a special edition t-shirt of Arvee’s “Speaker Box” design with 100% of the profits going directly to Save The Children to help our Filipino friends and their country recover from Typhoon Haiyan. The shirt will also display a message on the back that reads “For the Philippines (Para sa Pilipinas).”
Save the Children estimates that over 5 million Filipino children have been directly affected by this tragedy. Assistance is urgently needed to prevent a deterioration in their health and nutrition and to ensure their safety. In the absence of shelter, food, emergency health care, clean water and sanitation, the lives of many thousands of these children could quickly become at risk.
The shirt is now available for pre-sale – Get yours here!
