Fundraising still going on for Tribute to Fallen Soldiers NW and Put I'm Sorry Into Action. All net proceeds will go to these groups, with a minimum donation of $11 per shirt ordered.

We've had questions about the prices of the Tribute Tees, so here's a breakdown of our costs paid for with the purchase of each Tee.

Cost per printed Tee $9.00
Cost per printed Decal $.50
Shipping for 1 Tee $7.00 -$8.00

Balance after covering the costs of tees and accompanying decals $10.45 -$11.45. We round up and donate a minimum of $11.00 for each Tee sold on our website.

Shipping cost is approximate and is based on ONE Tee. Cost to mail does seem to vary depending on the day or something else; we use the same packaging for a single shirt and one day it costs around $7, the next day it will be a bit more (even for the same destination address).
For orders of multiple tees in one order, shipping cost per tee is dramatically reduced. The difference in those shipping charges will add to the amount donated.

We guarantee a minimum of$11 per shirt will be donated to either of the nonprofits fundraisers for each Tribute Tees sold.

We also encourage donating directly to the nonprofit organization via their own websites if you choose not to participate in the Tribute Tees.

Any Gold Star Family who wants to purchase the Tribute Tee representing your Hero without participating in the fundraiser, please contact Jimm at 541-239-7067 for special pricing for your family.

Today is set aside to Remember and Honor those who died in the service to this country, throughout our history.
Please also remember the Families whose lives have been changed by the deaths of their Heroes. For them everyday is Memorial Day and today is especially difficult for them.
Here at American Pride USA we not only Remember and Honor those Heroes today, but we also Remember and Honor them and their families throughout the year.

May each of you have a Memorable Memorial Day, especially the Gold Star Families.

Fundraising Tribute Tees are still available. We just started earlier this week and already have orders for both Tributes, either already shipped or getting ready to ship on Tuesday.

Starting today we will also donate a minimum of 50% of net profits from any additional purchases made from the website when ordering a Fundraising Tribute Tee.

How do we spend this Memorial Day weekend, printing up Tribute Tees for Our Heroes; to help raise money for some really great Gold Star Family causes.

To start your own Tribute to your own Fallen Hero, contact us to get started. It costs you nothing and ALL Net Proceeds will be donated to the nonprofit organization of your choice.

The Fundraising Tribute Tees now available are just the beginning of our move to do more Fundraising Tribute programs.

We're focusing our Fundraising to Tributes to Fallen Heroes for the time being. Funds (net proceeds) raised will be donated to organizations who actively support Gold Star Families.
Any Gold Star Family can sign up to have a Tribute Shirt done to honor their Hero. They can create a design for the shirt or choose one of our numerous patriotic designs. If they have a nonprofit, funds raised will go to their nonprofit. If they don't have a nonprofit, we will donate to the nonprofit organization of their choice.
We will provide a free sample shirt for the Gold Star Family or individual who creates a Tribute Tee.
Anyone who is not a Gold Star Family Member who request a tribute to a fallen Hero, must have verified permission from the family to use the name for the Tribute Tee.

Our Fundraising History

We started doing Fundraisers 19 years ago. Until now, they were localized and run by organizations, schools with sales coming through their own efforts and word of mouth. We've done smaller fundraisers for school sports teams and small groups for 3-4 dozen shirts and large fundraising for almost 400 shirts and sweatshirts. Most of the smaller ones were local and regional but the biggest fundraiser was across the country in Kansas for a troop welcome home event.

Our Fundraising is different than most others. None of our fundraising programs have required any outlay of cash for the organizations we've worked with.

Now, we're able to host them on our website to expand our capabilities in house. We do all the printing in house as well as graphic design if needed. Organizations can promote their fundraiser using the free sample tees we provide and direct sales to the website or take orders and place orders through us.

Either way, there's no requirement to purchase more than they need, unless they want some on hand to sell at their events.

UPDATE: Our first fundraiser participant is on board!!!
Watch for updated posts.

We're putting together a new fundraising idea for shirts, honoring our fallen heroes.

The main difference is that the Gold Star Families will get to help select the designs for the shirts, or even provide the graphics for them.
And best of all , ALL of the net profits will be donated to either:
1. The nonprofit of the Gold Star Family of the Hero being honored, or
2. The Gold Star nonprofit of their choice if they don't have one.

A photo (if available) of the Hero with name and "angel" date and US flag w/eagle will be on the left sleeve

The print plan is tentatively as follows;

On the Right sleeve will be the logo of the nonprofit being benefitted by the fundraiser and our logo below it.

The main design will be on the Front and possibly on the back may be our version of the Gold Star (maybe).

Each order will include a decal of the Organization the fundraiser supports.

We will be adding a link tab and page to our website for Heroes Tribute Products to facilitate ordering 24/7 and sales tracking.

Tees will tentatively retail for approximately $27.95 each including shipping ( price includes sizes up to 3 XL) We do have a couple of options for shipping, so we may have to look at what works best for the customers. With a flat rate pricing for the the customer isn't going to be paying a ton for ordering more than 1 item.
Hoodies will tentatively sell for approximately $49.95 each including shipping ; again, sizes

Colors available for the Tribute tees and hoodies will be a choice of White or Ash Gray . Other colors may be available for an additional charge.

With the tentative prices for the apparel, we will still be able to donate to the Gold Star Family nonprofits approximately $13-15/ shirt even after paying postage and product costs.

If any Gold Star Families have more ideas for this please message us directly ASAP.

We're hoping to launch this program in the next week or so to enable orders to be filled, shipped and received by Memorial Day.

Added feature to the fundraiser program. Anyone who initiate a fundraiser will receive the first printed shirt and a decal of the organization fundraising for.
It's easier to fully support and promote your fundraiser if you have a physical shirt to see the quality of the print and shirt.
Our most successful fundraisers over the years started with just one shirt that they wore, took pictures of and shared across personal networks. We've literally printed and shipped hundreds of shirts across the country that started with just one sample.
