As you can see on the package, they like to say it will "Make Life Smoother," which I could not agree more. One of the biggest challenges for anyone with digestive disorders is the ability to take in enough nutrition. Healthy fruits like berries, and veggies such as spinach become a thing of the past for some. Blendtec is beyond powerful with a blade that spins at over 300 mph and up to 5 times faster than other blenders. This technology has serisously changed my life! I'm able to toss in fresh grown strawberries from my garden, cook vegetables and puree them for soups or cubes to freeze and I've even made pumpkin coconut milk ice cream for a tasty treat.
I'm sure you are curious as to how we are going to use the blenders to raise money. Aside from the sponsors donating funds and prizes, the money used for research needs to come from anyone and everyone we can reach out to. In addition, it is all about spreading awareness. To accomplish both we will be selling the t-shirts again this year, which have a funky design that will catch the attention of those around you AND every dollar spent goes directly towards research (see here for more about how last year's funds are being used).
Here is where the Blendtec comes in. For every t-shirt donation your name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win. Not only are you getting a snazzy T that will have people asking more about GP, plus giving funds to a cause that will hopefully provide us with a cure one day, and there is a possibility to win one of these amazing blenders!
Note, this pre-sale will end August 15th in order to go to print. Shirts will be mailed out first week of September. This gives us an estimate of how many to purchase from American Apparel and the necessary funds ahead of time for the actual order.
Options for donating: Cost - $20 + shipping ($5 ships up to 4 shirts)
