Case Study: Grand Traverse Guns N Hoses

Overview:

Threads Custom Gear, based in Traverse City, Michigan, has been a key partner in supporting the Grand Traverse Guns N Hoses (GTGNH) charity through the sale of custom-designed t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts for their annual hockey event since the non-profit organization’s founding in 2014. The partnership has not only helped raise significant funds for local individuals and families in need but has also fostered a strong sense of community involvement and support.

The Partnership:

In 2014, when Grand Traverse Guns N Hoses was first forming, the group was seeking creative ways to raise awareness and funds for their charity work. One of their initial ideas was to create and sell event merchandise, specifically custom-designed t-shirts and hoodies, which could be sold to attendees of the annual charity hockey game. This is where Threads Custom Gear entered the picture.

Threads Custom Gear offered to design and produce the shirts and sweatshirts, ensuring that the products were high quality and affordable, with a portion of the proceeds going directly to the charity. Over the years, this collaboration has grown into a lasting partnership that benefits both the local community and the families served by GTGNH.

Impact:

The collaboration between Threads Custom Gear and Grand Traverse Guns N Hoses has proven to be a powerful example of how local businesses and nonprofit organizations can work together to create lasting, positive change in their community. Through the sale of custom t-shirts, sweatshirts, and a growing portfolio of other apparel, the two organizations have been able to generate both financial support and awareness for individuals and families in need. What started as a simple idea to raise funds through event merchandise has evolved into a deeply impactful and sustainable partnership that continues to benefit the community of Traverse City year after year.
