00:00:00.480 Hello, everyone.
00:00:09.440 I'm Stafford Brunk, and I work for CustomInk. You might recognize us as the company that prints various shirts. I would like to introduce a new product we recently launched; it's called Booster. This is a fundraising platform that currently specializes in fundraising with t-shirts.
00:00:20.640 Here's how it works: you go to our site, create your t-shirt design, and essentially, it's similar to Kickstarter but focused on t-shirts. The reason I'm bringing this up is that there's currently a Booster fundraiser for flood relief.
00:00:40.800 If you go to booster.com/floodrelief, you'll see that they are trying to raise money for a specific shirt design. It's actually a pretty cool design, and they have about nine days left in their campaign. They're aiming to raise approximately $1,500 if they meet their goal of selling 150 shirts. They still have a bit of a way to go.
00:01:09.119 The shirts are priced at $20 each, and we print them at cost, then ship them directly. Any proceeds left over will go straight to the Crossroads Recovery Team, as the organizer has chosen to donate to that cause. So once again, you can check out booster.com/floodrelief, and I'll go ahead and tweet that out and tag Rocky Mountain Ruby. Thank you for your time!
