TeePay, help needed from you all.
tim posted this 16th April 2009 10:50am
On May the 1st howies will not be alone, we are launching a tee shirt company called TeePay.com. The concept will be very simple.
- you design what you’d like to print on a tee shirt
- you upload your design/s to the teepay site
- you market it however you want to whoever you want
- we promote Teepay and all the tee shirts online
- anyone can do it and if you think you’ve got some ideas then lets see them
- if you sell 50 shirts or more we print them and pay you a royalty for every shirt sold
- everyone gets a piece of the cake
- simple
But we need some help, there’s an option to pay some of the royalty to charity and we’d like to know your five favorite charities. so please let us know one and all. howies will of course be giving it’s earthtax donations as well. Please link this blog to as many others as you can as we need this info pretty darn quick.

Great idea, good luck with it. Charity top 5? Just 1 – Fairbridge. Youth-led org with an outdoors focus… much like Howies i guess. Vested interest? Yeah, i work for them. Fairbridge that is.

Hi, I was just about to contact you with an idea for a t-shirt to help raise money for my London to Paris cycle ride for Macmillan Cancer Support. Sounds like a great idea… I may well be one of the first to sign up!
April 16th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Sounds like a really good idea!
There are so many charities? One close to heart is the Prostate Cancer Charity …
A cheeky plug, last week I ran The Paris Marathon for the charity, if anyone can dig deep and sponsor me it would mean so much! http://www.justgiving.com/paris_2009_prostate

tom the donations will come from individuals, not a company. they are under no obligation to donate but if they do it’s their choice.
April 16th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Cannot believe nobody has mentioned Médecins Sans Frontières!
April 16th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
In that case – DO Lectures?
Greepeace and Friends of the Earth also…

Sustrans, YHA, National Trust?

As you’re in Wales how about:
Tŷ Hafan http://www.tyhafan.org/
or
Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre Wales http://www.bobathwales.org/
Good luck.

Great Idea. I vote for Scope http://www.scope.org.uk/adventures/
They have a huge range of outdoorsy fundraising events like the Ironman or Kilimanjaro and help out a lot of disabled people and their families with their response line http://www.scope.org.uk/response/ amongst other things.
April 17th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Great idea:
1. Scope
2. Concern Worldwide
3. WWF
April 17th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
My vote is for Scope – they make a real difference to the lives of disabled children and adults.
April 17th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Didn’t see a mention of SAVE THE CHILDREN.
It’s actually Save the Children week from 26th April and people all over the country are raising funds by holding tea parties so if you see one go and support em!
Any charities involving the welfare of children have to be a good choice. Might be a good idea to pick a charity that perhaps represents a different area for your top 5, ie poverty, childrens welfare, disability, animals etc…?
April 20th, 2009 at 10:28 am
Really good idea!
My fav charity is Scope.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:36 am
