Bridge Day Offers Unique “One Shirt” Campaign

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.

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.
