Read-A-Thon Spencer Tee Shirt

I received this question the other day, and so I thought I would post a response.

Q: How do you choose the names for GIVE AND TAKE tees?

A: Every shirt in the collection is named after a person in the designer, Shea Mullen's, life who has been affected in some way by the affiliated foundation.

This shirt on the left is one of my favorite designs from the GIVE AND TAKE for a few reasons. The most obvious is because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the shirts from this collection that are 3-tone color (see below for more examples), but most importantly it is because it was named after one of my FAVORITE people and BESTEST friend, Spencer.

Unlike many of the other tees in this line, the "Spencer" is named for a man who GAVE BACK to Multiple Sclerosis, which is how he was affected. When he was 7 years old he was in a Read-a-Thon at school where he was the highest fundraiser in the history of the school and he won a bike. Without a dime from his family, he solicited his neighbors and came out a well-read winner. His highest donation came from a neighbor who pledged $20, not realizing it was for EVERY book he read! Sometimes it is the people who GIVE BACK who are most greatly impacted but who can make the biggest difference.

This tee was a popular style at the MTV Video Award with Victoria's Secret Model Alessandra Ambrosio who is the National Ambassador for Multiple Sclerosis Society. (Inside Scoop) She liked it sooooo much that she actually left with the sample! That's ok because she understands the importance of GIVING BACK.
