work

It's fitting how an organization based on roadblocks seems to be hitting one after another. The last design was sent to our printer and we were promptly informed that we would need to go overseas for an all-over-screen-print. Back to the drawing board / touchpad...no big deal.

Any ideas are welcome!

Thanks,

Roadblocks?

We trashed the original design, and have instead gone forward with this:
It promises to exceed the quality and crush the price of the $187 sweatshirt pictured.

Also of note: the cost of a 5k at the University is greater than $10K... Seeing as we're not an extreme-negative-profit-corporation, and we have yet to contact our first sponsor, a change of venue is expected. Hill AFB seems a likely candidate.

Quick Update

As of 3:00 pm today T-Wall has officially filed it's papers to become a non-profit in the state of Utah. Up next is the IRS paperwork for the 501(c)(3) and the packet to become a charitable organization. The full-up website is in the works, and we're still trying to come up with a good hoodie design.

At this point we are squarely in the not for profit column...

no big deal

New designs


New T-Wall Logo with a blatant homage to the Blue Star Service Banner.


After some deep thought we decided on changing the T-shirt design to a sweatshirt design. We'll be using a white American Apparel Hoodie, but haven't decided on the exact style. It's a work in progress, but this is the first publicly viewable hack at the design for the back of the hoodie.

Thoughts?

Day 0

Among other things, T-Wall is the Non-Profit organization that we're setting up. Our first project is a T-Shirt design for spouses of deployed Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines. The second being a 5k fun run at the University of Utah. All of T-Wall's profits will go to an American Institute of Philanthropy's "Top Rated Charity" for Veterans. Our first two projects will support Homes For Our Troops and specifically the local home here in Salt Lake City for SPC Bryant Jacobs.
