The Award Tour “Relief Beanies” for HAITI.
January 13, 2010

I mentioned it on Twitter yesterday and we're not going to waste any time in making it happen. The recent earthquake that tore through Haiti's capital Port-Au-Prince has left the country in shambles and in the midst of a crisis that will be on going for months and probably years to come. I personally have family in the middle of this catastrophe and this is just one of the steps being taken to do whatever possible to help the people of Haiti.

As you can imagine, this was thrown/brought together within the last few hours. This is going to be a limited release and there will only be 20 beanies because quite frankly that's all I could get together on this short notice.

ALL of the proceeds from these sales will be going to Haitian relief efforts. Your support is greatly appreciated.

The "Relief Beanies" will be releasing tomorrow: THURSDAY (Jan. 14th) at 6:45PM EST online at The Award Tour Corner Store.

(Colors: Charcoal, Navy, Maroon, Army Green.)

Enormous shout outs have to go to the good people at Good Wood NYC who crafted the half-way amazing adornments you see above. Laser cut from wood, these Award Tour pins were made in small quantities and previously were only going to be distributed to friends and family. With the crisis at hand we decided to throw get them to you all, the extended family and general public to do what we could for Haiti.

ALSO! Massive shouts go out to Nels who came through in the true clutch and held me down with the photographs.

Again, all the support over the past days coming in through email and Twitter is greatly appreciated.

Stay Safe-Phil.

    Phil, are you planning 20 of each c/w or 20 total, resulting in 5 of each colorway? Didn't think it is clarified as warranting this comment.
