Ten dollars from every purchased shirt was donated to the Community Foundation. The money raised by the t-shirts was being used to assist not-for-profits, small businesses and artists that were affected by the pandemic. This shirt in particular features a quote from Premier Dennis King which he made during a media briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic.?
