Buttons of Hope
Several teams who have participated in fundraising events in past years have designed and worn their own shirts to show their team spirit. I love seeing teams show their commitment in this way. It also feeds awareness to the public when worn.
Is a custom t-shirt the only thing that can be worn by a team (or individuals) to let the public know why the event is important? Of course not!
Consider the idea of wearing a button. It could display an important message. It could show a photo of the person you are walking for or a photo of your team. Buttons have been used for decades for the promotion of political candidates. Some of those buttons are now collector items.
I recently discovered Buttons of Hope. You can have custom buttons created at Buttons of Hope to support your fundraising and advocacy activities. Michael Gibbons founded Buttons of Hope when he found the power a button can have in helping to change the world. Click here to read his story.
A custom button is a great way to show team unity and the reason you are supporting a worthy cause.
Roger thanks so much for the kind mention of my Buttons of Hope project -- I hope this will help people more deeply connect to remarkable and worthy causes like the Arthritis Walk!
