Oklahoma’s three most well-known universities have found a clever way to raise money for victims of the tornadoes that ravaged the state earlier this week.
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are jointly selling T-shirts with the logos of each school on the front underneath the phrase “OKTOGETHER.” All proceeds from the sale of each $19.95 short-sleeved shirt and $24.95 long-sleeved shirt will go to The United Way and will be used to aid disaster relief efforts in the towns struck by tornadoes.
“It’s the Oklahoma Standard,” the blurb describing the T-shirt to potential buyers reads. “In times of need, our communities rally around each other with an outpouring of love and compassion. As a Cowboy, Hurricane and Sooner fan, you can do your part to help the Oklahomans that have been affected by the recent devastation by supporting those in need with this 2013 Disaster Relief Efforts tee.”
The shirt is one of numerous T-shirts being sold to benefit tornado victims in Oklahoma. It will take a lot of T-shirts purchased to match Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant’s generous $1 million donation earlier this week, but every little bit helps.
