We wanted to do a short post to let you know what happened with the money you spent on the OK Tee. We had the opportunity to visit Haiti at the beginning of July. We spent two days with about 150 kids at an orphanage in Salines Mayette. Shortly after the earthquake the UN brought about 30 orphans that needed a place to stay, and this orphanage opened their arms. When we asked them what their biggest need was, they said “water.” Every day, sometimes twice a day, they have to walk to get water from a well. What little they bring back is gone very quickly.

With the money that you and YBW raised from the sales of the OK Tee, which totaled about $1,500, the orphanage will be able to buy about 8 rain catchers to keep on the roof of the orphanage. Giving them an opportunity to collect and store the water they need.

Thank you for your support of these children. You are making a huge difference in the lives of these kids.

For the next 48 hours spend $50 or more and receive a FREE tote bag! Only while supplies last. Does not apply to Haiti Relief Tees.

That’s right, “video” not “videos.” There’s only one this month.

This week we decided that any sale from our site would go directly to the people in desperate need in Haiti. We put it out there and you all responded. Because of your purchases this week YBW will be sending just over $2000 dollars to the relief efforts in Haiti! As you can see we are nearly out of everything and have called for reprints on alot of our desings. We appreciate your patience as some of your orders will take longer than normal to arrive. Special thanks to Peter Facinelli for spreading the word on Twitter, and special thanks to Genevieve Penn. Thank you so much for your support of the Haitian people. We will be releasing a shirt in the next couple days that will be specifically for Haiti Relief as a way to continue supporting the relief effort there, because the problem is far from over. Be on the look out for that shirt. Thanks again YBW fans!!

If you haven’t already heard there was a magnitude 7.0 earthquake today in Haiti. In an effort to help, every dollar of every sale on our site this week will got to aid the people of Haiti. If you don’t like our stuff please give somewhere else, but please do something to help those people. Thank you.

Recently we got a chance to meet the people at Freeset Tees. Freeset is a company that is based out of Calcutta. It’s main focus as a company isn’t to make nice tees (which they do anyway). Their main focus is rescuing women from sexual slavery. Slavery is a huge problem in countries where jobs are scarce. People trying to support their families are forced to turn to other means of making money. Freeset offers training and a steady well paying job, healthcare, and a retirement plan to women who would otherwise be prostitutes and slaves. We got a chance to check out their tees and we were really impressed with the quality and the fit. Plus all their tees are produced with organically grown cotton. Needless to say, YBW will be working with Freeset in the near future. Check out Freeset, click here.

Last Monday YBW hosted a benefit concert featuring Judith Hill. The evening was a success, raising approximately $10,000 for the Feeding the Thousands campaign for the people of Northwest Haiti. Every dollar raised will go to buy meals for families in desperate need. Special thanks to Judith & Lu Rain. Thanks to Louie, Othello, and Charles for all the pictures. Thanks to Dalyn, Ramsey and the rest of the crew at the El Rey for making it happen. Thanks everyone for coming out and supporting this cause.

On December 14th, we are excited to be hosting HOPE: A Benefit for the People of Northwest Haiti. The concert will feature Judith Hill from Michael Jackson’s “This Is It.” Every dollar of the ticket sales will go to feeding starving people in Northwest Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the entire western hemisphere. In 2008, three hurricanes hit the island of Haiti in a matter of four weeks. Since then food has been even more scarce than it was before. If this benefit sells out completely, then the money from the tickets will feed over 500,000 people. Please be a part of this event, and join us in changing lives and offering hope.

We made it into our first movie! If you look closely in the recently released Bring It On: Fight to the Finish, you can catch a glimpse of our Yellow/Black Ampersand shirt. Not only is it our top selling shirt, but it’s also our brand logo.

Special thanks to Chaniece for spotting the “&” and giving us a call right away. I don’t know that we would have ever seen it otherwise. I suppose we should also thank the good people at Bring It On for making it happen.

We’ll be re-releasing the Ampersand shirt this fall for those of you who couldn’t get one before they sold out. Stay tuned.
