proceeds are donated to
the GSM & F fund

start with long sleeve t-shirts, coffee mug, watch ... lots of possibilities
to coordinate with online efforts

I am hoping to connect with some partners ...

***My Mother's Grandmother, my Great Grandmother
was a Gold Star Mother/WW1
and for my service project I want to show my support and respect
for all the other Gold Star families

( 1 set featured for the Holidays )
** can be featured
on homepage slideshow for holiday selling

may start out as one t-shirt - can start from garage brand
where a % of sales from the gold star t-shirt is donated to the GSM&F




for star solid gold on wht
long sleeve that can be worn year round

initial ideas for star collection -
design having the look of a coordinating pin
on- travel mug and or t-shirt and or hat, possibly a candle, flag-opportunities to build on ... playing cards using a gold star instead of a round on the wildcard
evaluate best design and color combo,
possibly just white with gold - holiday, some other colorations for National Holidays
to match up w/GSM pin, concept is to have updated fundraising items
tribute ... giving thanks and remembering right after Thanksgiving ... weekend after ... for Holiday season ...
special event 1-7 day event, Thurs-Sun, set amt, available at select retail partnership locations, while qtys last and
have an online donation box - gifting the fund/100% of donations go directly to the fund-transaction fee, or donation absorbs transaction fee
evaluating best fit......want to make it accessible and an authorized payment site ...possibly GOOGLE PAY, payment option/non-profit rates

***tbd my vision is to have an accessible online donation site for the majority of the fundraising ... one day event during the holidays,
soon after Thanksgiving
go to the GOOGLE website, GOOGLE PAY handles the online transaction,
similar to an online Red Cross relief fundraiser
commemoration coffee to launch/kick off the fundraising

(inspired by GSM holiday tree decorating at WH)

in hopes of becoming an annual fundraiser ...

*** this is a proposal for a star label

tribute ... give the gift that keeps on giving
