Stories to Make You Smile
For over six years, we’ve been collecting customer stories in our Ink of the Week contest. Throughout the years, we’ve heard from some truly amazing customers about how their CustomInk orders helped to unite their community and take their event to the next level. To show you some of the communities we’ve touched, we’ve compiled a handful of stories that caught our eye this past month.

Give up the Candy!
The dental office of Allen & Kelly Smudde have been ordering shirts with us for six years for Operation Gratitude: Candy Buyback. The event encourages kids in their community to give up their Halloween candy in exchange for money (for themselves and their schools). After gathering candy, hand-written letters, and other treats, they send everything to our troops serving overseas. Pictured here is the community that participated in last year’s event.

Camp Billy Johnson
Each year, the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee runs Camp Billy Johnson – a FREE week of sleep-away camp for underprivileged kids who would not otherwise be able to afford camp. They provide them with everything they will need for the week including sleeping bags, towels, and “fantastic t-shirts from CustomInk!”

Doing the Nae Nae with CustomInk
Nearly 150 shirts were ordered this summer for the Chicago Lights Summer Day Program, a program providing a safe place for 100 school-aged kids living in under-served communities to learn and engage in academic classes and art instructions. At the end of the session, students present multicultural arts performances for the community. Check out the moves on these 1st-4th graders!

Kait-A-Palooza
Kaitlin, who had always referred to her birthday month as “Kait-A-Palooza,” tragically passed away in a car accident several months before her 21st birthday. Determined to celebrate the milestone in her grand style, her parents, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins united together in Cancun to celebrate her life. Wearing their custom shirts, they “released balloons over the Caribbean at sunset in her honor.”
