(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 01, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- When Hurricane Sandy hit New JerseyÂ’s shore line in October of last year, it caused some of the most devastating damage in the stateÂ’s history. Scott Zabelski, a New Jersey native, couldnÂ’t help but think up ways he could help relief efforts.
As the owner of Blue Wave Printing, a screen printing company, Zebelski’s father suggested creating a T-shirt to make for his business and sell for proceeds to the relief effort. That’s when he conjured up the phrase “Restore the Shore” and created a few to hand out to friends and family.
Before he knew it, people were getting serious reactions and wanted to help out, he decided to sell the T-shirts, along with hooded sweatshirts, and donate part of the proceeds to Hurricane Sandy recovery.
The very first day he started selling the items, he earned over $1,200 in donations. He used that money to buy gift cards for people he knew that were impacted by the storm. He continued to print T-shirts throughout the night and saw an increase in sales the next day, raising another $5,000 for donations.
Zabelski says what sets his relief efforts apart is that more money than not went to donations. He simply set the cost to cover his expenses and the rest went to charity. He didnÂ’t actually make any money from the t-shirts himself.
The recovery process was important to Zabelski, because his parentsÂ’ home had been hit pretty hard by the hurricane and sustained a lot of damage. His own home was hardly damaged, but the pain he saw in his parentsÂ’ eyes kept urging him to find ways to help.
In the end, t-shirt sales were so great that by the end of ZabelskiÂ’s relief effort, he had raised roughly $517,000.
