Create a Custom T-shirt Fundraiser

To help you with your fundraising, you can optionally create a custom t-shirt for The Longest Day on Bonfire. The difference in price between what is sold and what it costs will be donated to The Longest Day campaign, and through the integration below, you will receive credit for your fundraising efforts with the t-shirt sales on your fundraising page. T-shirts will be mailed out directly to your donors once the t-shirt campaign ends (you choose the date) - shipping can take 7-14 business days.

I've joined the fight against the disease by raising funds for the Alzheimer's Association's The Longest Day. On the winter solstice, December 21, I'll light a luminary to honor my loved ones.
