British Ambassador Launches Charity T-Shirt Competition for Wounded Warriors (March 03, 2010)
The British Embassy in Washington today launches a competition for members of the public to design a new t-shirt to raise money for two charities supporting wounded warriors from the United Kingdom and the United States.
The winning t-shirts will be worn by British Embassy staff at the EU Open House event on May 8. They will be sold to raise funds for Azalea Charities and the British Army Benevolent Fund in America, two charities that support the welfare of British and American servicemen and women and their families.
Entries will be judged by British Ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald, Politico's man-about-town and staff writer Patrick Gavin, and David Lisoski, manager of the Georgetown branch of British fashion brand Reiss. The winner will be named VIP visitor at the Embassy’s Open House Day and receive a special prize from the Ambassador.
British Ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald said:
"I'm calling on all budding designers to put their creative and artistic skills to the test. It’s in a great cause: Azalea Charities and the British Army Benevolent Fund in America do wonderful work for UK and US servicemen and women. I'm proud that the British Embassy is supporting their efforts and I look forward to judging the entries."
Azalea Charities President Douglas Taggart said:
“Azalea Charities is proud of its joint efforts with the British to deliver the aid our wounded military and their families so crucially deserve. Each t-shirt sold on May 8 is a tribute to these brave men and women and a great help in the recovery of both body and spirit.”
