Local t-shirt printer Anchor Screen Printing knows how important our local businesses are to our community. For the past 13 years the screen-printing company has worked with many of the small businesses and restaurants in the area; either directly or putting their logos on events they sponsor throughout the year.
“At this point, we all know the hospitality, restaurant, bar and service industries are going to be hit the hardest,” the company wrote on their website. “These establishments are there for us, so let’s take an opportunity to support them.”
And that’s exactly how Anchoring Okaloosa was born.
Anchoring Okaloosa was designed to raise awareness and funds for local businesses in Okaloosa County, while helping Anchor Screen Printing continue to operate as normal as possible.
“We’ve had many cancellations due to events”, the company said. “We also rely on the businesses that fuel and service the hospitality and tourist industry which has been hit pretty hard in turn bringing our orders to a screeching halt. We’d love to keep our crew intact during this time so each purchase helps the Anchor presses to keep turning! We appreciate our customers and so we created this site to hopefully help raise money for you and your business as well.”
And so far, Anchoring Okaloosa t-shirts has raised nearly $38,000 of their $50,000 goal.
And the split? Well, the Anchor crew has kept that as simple as possible: The t-shirts cost $20 with $10 going to the business on the shirt, and $10 going to Anchor Screen Printing.
