Phil Taylor and several players of the Cleveland Browns football team wear T-shirts (photo below) dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the victims of those affected by the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas. Not to make light of the Boston Marathon bombings, the incident in West, Texas hasn't received as must attention.
Taylor, who attended Baylor University in nearby Waco, Texas, wanted to raise awareness and funds for the victims. Recent stories in the news have overshadowed the West, Texas explosion and he wants to correct that. Taylor and his manager started a campaign to market and sell T-shirts with the slogan "We Are West, TX" for $25 each with all proceeds going to families of the victims. They have a goal of $100,000.
This is a great story. Someone (Phil Taylor) with the stage of a professional team took the initiative to be the voice of those who needed one. He could have just donated money, but using T-shirts prompts others to recognize the awareness is needed and provide help in the form of buying a T-shirt. You look good wearing it. You look good buying it. You look good for helping.
Do good things.
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III who played at Baylor is supporting the campaign by posing in one of the T-shirts.
