This all started with a pretty simple t-shirt. Our Fight Club franchise of tees (going back to 2008, still bummed that we didn't start in '04 with V-Tek) has always championed athletes who are willing to throw down for their team. In 2021, we realized we should honor someone who is taking on a very different kind of fight, the one and only Jerry Remy. After Alex Cora wore the tee during his interview on NESN during the Jimmy Fund telethon, we decided to add it to the store and try and make as big of a donation as possible. As a multi-year sponsor in the past of the Jimmy Fund, we love and respect the work that they do. We had the honor of working alongside of them to build awareness for their efforts and got to sit down with several of their patients during our time there.

The shirt resonated with people after Alex wore it, and then it started popping up more - Chris Sale was in it during several post-game pressers, a few other players had it on the field during batting practice. It got people talking about the much-missed personality and allowed us to make a very significant donation of $30,000 to the Jimmy Fund.

Our biggest donation ever to them, in fact! And the 2nd largest in our history as a brand. Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts and for making this happen.

There are a lot of things that are broken in this world and overdue to be fixed. Sully's stands in solidarity with everyone who believes that black lives matter, rejects white supremacy, and works towards dismantling systems of oppression and fighting racial injustice. The power structure that keeps Black / Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) down while affording opportunities to others needs to be recalibrated and this is one way that we can help. We've had a long history of making fund-raising t-shirts using our "Believe In Boston" trademark, and we are proud to use it today to help direct much-needed resources to a valuable organization right here at home, the Massachusetts Bail Fund.

For every cent of profit that we make selling this tee, we'll donate to the Massachusetts Bail Fund. To get things started, Sully's Brand made an initial donation of $500 on 6/05/20. On 6/08/20 we made a 2nd donation of $1,500. On 6/19/20 we made a 3rd donation of $1,000.

Sully's is so proud to collaborate with PEOPLE'S PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, a Berkeley California organization retrofitting hats to hold face shields for front line health care providers who have been lacking sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) due to widespread shortages. This Massachusetts-based EMT is wearing our "Drink Beer and Fight" hat and is bravely helping local residents during this pandemic. We never thought we would see our favorite hockey game hat in the healthcare environment, but we are so glad it's being put to this good use and protecting these brave men and women on the frontlines of this pandemic. Feeling inspired to lend some support? Donate to People's Protective Equipment here or consider purchasing one of our fundraising Stay Home shirts benefitting The Boston Resiliency Fund.

***We've now donated $1,000 to the Boston Resiliency Fund from the proceeds of this t-shirt***

With all of Massachusetts under a Stay At Home order for the next month (and likely longer), we are offering this t-shirt to help raise much needed funds for those most in need. To get things started we've preemptively donated $500 to the Boston Resiliency Fund, the City of Boston’s effort to help coordinate fundraising and philanthropic efforts to provide essential services to Boston residents whose health and well-being are most immediately impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. They are also working to help first responders and critical care providers. 

Georgia's mom works for HAWC (Healing Abuse, Working for Change) in Salem and in an effort to raise funds to help their efforts, Georgia has created a limited edition enamel pin of a witch wearing a purple hat. October is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and purple is the color that they use to show support.

This enamel pin was basically a self portrait by Georgia, featuring freckled green skin with a purple witch hat illustrated when she was 8 years old, and we are proud to say the sale of this pin allowed us to make a $1,000 donation to HAWC!
