Bridge Day has selected Morgantown, WV based SustainU to be the first official apparel provider for this year’s 30th Anniversary event on October 17. In conjunction with this decision, Bridge Day, SustainU, and Goodwill Industries of Kanawha Valley will be teaming up to offer a unique “One Shirt” Campaign, which will offer Bridge Day participants and spectators a unique opportunity to make an ecological and economic impact.
Sustain U One Shirt Campaign
Anyone that wishes to participate can bring a clean, used shirt or item of clothing to the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce booth at either end of the Bridge and receive a $5 discount on SustainU’s official commemorative Bridge Day t-shirt. All clothing donations will be collected by Goodwill to support the mission of providing employment, education and training for people with disabilities.
SustainU, an American enterprise, focuses on social, economic and environmental sustainability of products by producing high quality apparel from 100% recycled post-consumer plastics and textile waste. Their dedication to social awareness is changing the way people view clothes. SustainU’s corporate message truly embraces Bridge Day’s “it’s all about living” philosophy.
SustainU will be taking donations and selling the commemorative 30th Anniversary Bridge Day 2009 shirts before, as well as on Bridge Day. For more information call 1-800-927-0263.
Can you send information about how to purchase a Bridge Day T-Shirt?
Where can a Bridge day T-shirt be purchased prior to the event. Is it feasible to order one online? In addition, the newspaper article stated the SustainU t’s were available at the WVU bookstore. I went to the website and was unable to locate them. Please advise…..
Unfortunately, the Bridge Day 2009 T-shirts are not available online right now. If you’re coming to the festival, here’s some information on when and where they’ll be available for purchase…
-New River Convention and Visitors Bureau Thurs-Sunday
-Fayetteville Convention and Visitors Bureau Thurs-Friday
-A Taste Of Bridge Day Friday night
-The Fayette County Chamber Of Commerce Bridge Day Booths (north and south sides of the bridge) during the entire event.
Hope this helps…
Will shirts ever be available on line? I was there on Saturday, but the weather kept me from staying as long as I would have liked, and so, I didn’t get one.
Shari, as soon as we take an inventory of what we’ve got, we’ll make a decision about how we’ll sell the rest of the shirts. At that point, we’ll definitely post as to how folks can get them. Hope you had a great time, despite the cold
Who designed the logo on the shirts?
