Crazy Shirts - Community Leadership

Community Leadership

Crazy Shirts supports many of Hawaii's community and non-profit organizations. Over the years, their involvement has included:

  • Hawaiian Humane Society – Crazy Shirts has been actively involved in the Adopt-a-Cat, Adopt-a-Dog and other Hawaiian Human Society projects. Annually, they donate a Crazy Shirts original shirt design and product, with a portion of the proceeds going to the organization.
  • Polynesian Voyaging Society – Crazy Shirts provided the official Polynesian Voyaging Society – Hokulea crew shirt, working with the team members to develop a special UV protective garment.
  • AccesSurf Hawaii – In partnership with Crocs, Crazy Shirts designed a limited edition shoe called the “Island Lifeguard” which is old exclusively through select Crazy Shirts retail locations and its website. To complement the shoes, Crazy Shirts designed an “Island Lifeguard” T-shirt. Proceeds from these products benefited AccesSurf Hawaii, Hawaii-based non-profit organization created to provide access to water sports to those with mental or physical challenges using specialized equipment, and the Hawaii Junior Lifeguard programs.
  • Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) – In May 2007, the company launched a product line titled “Save our Planet.” Crazy Shirts created this line in the hopes to spark conversation, raise public awareness, and encourage individuals to take steps toward environmental conservation and sustainability. Crazy Shirts donates a portion of the sales from all of its global warming products to the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI), a research unit of the University of Hawaii that conducts research to find new forms of energy to replace the United States dependence on fossil fuels.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or leadership:

    Fortunately art is a community effort—a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    During the first World War women in the United States had a chance to try their capacities in wider fields of executive leadership in industry. Must we always wait for war to give us opportunity? And must the pendulum always swing back in the busy world of work and workers during times of peace?
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
