Softball Uniforms printed in Connecticut

get your Sports Team or League ready for the 2014 softball season

Once again softball season is just around the corner. It’s a time where friends and coworkers get together and enjoy the competitive nature of a local sporting event. Different businesses are about to start scouting around looking for teams to sponsor. Kids and adults are also pledging their allegiance to specific teams, practicing and learning new moves to defeat the competitors.

Although softball is definitely an interesting and fun game to watch, from a marketing standpoint local softball teams are a wonderful way to advertise your business in the local arena.

In every town and city across the United States there are softball leagues for men, ladies and kids that are always looking for team sponsorship from local businesses. The sponsoring business usually provides funds that support the team with league fees, equipment and uniforms. Local residents especially in small towns always attend these events which give them a chance to enjoy the day with family, friends and the community they live in.

So what can we provide your softball team?

If you are from the Fairfield County area of Connecticut chances are, you have come across people wearing shirts we have printed. For over 25 years we have been providing local teams and businesses with all their decorated apparel needs.

There are many advantages for businesses that sponsor local softball teams. These sporting events draw friends and neighbors from your community and put your company name in the spot light. This is a great way to familiarize local residents with businesses in their area.  If you are real lucky and the team that you sponsored is doing well in the league, you can also receive local press coverage.

(A lot of local community channels as well as papers cover these events) this added bonus can be a huge plus for your business. Can you imagine opening your morning paper and seeing "Mike's Painting Service" wins the championship!

 Jenna's Jellybeans: More Than Just a Shirt

In the twenty-five years that we have been in the screen printing & embroidery business we have printed too many jobs to even begin to count for a variety of different customers. I must say that we have thoroughly enjoyed producing all those jobs as we truly love what we do and have met some pretty great people along the way. Although we are passionate about every job that we print, one of our favorite types of jobs that we are asked to do are those for special events or causes. Recently one of those special jobs came our way when we were contacted by a family to help make custom made t-shirts for their team, Jenna's Jellybeans, participating in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. As we communicated with this family we learned just how important this event was for them, as their daughter, Jenna, age 7, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2008. It was quickly apparent to us that this was one of those jobs that we had to be a part of, and we jumped on the opportunity to design an awesome t-shirt for team Jenna's Jellybeans, because that is exactly what they deserved. “Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone essential to the ability to get energy from food. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. T1D causes lifelong dependence on injected or pumped insulin and carries the constant threat of complications. T1D cannot be prevented and there is no cure.

• 3,000,000 - the number of Americans who may have T1D
• 85% - the percentage of people in the U.S. living with T1D who are adults
• 30,000 - the number of people who are diagnosed with T1D in the U.S. every year - approximately 15,000 children and 15,000 adults
• 23% - the increase in T1D incidence in people under age 20 between 2001 and 2009
• $14.9 billion - the healthcare costs of T1D in the U.S. each year

The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes is a fun-filled charity walk held in locations all around the world. The Walk raises funds for the millions of people living with and affected by type 1 diabetes. Participants, walking alone or in teams, raise money for JDRF, the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research. The Walk, their flagship fundraising program, is essential to JDRF's ability to award research funding and act as a powerful advocate in the T1D community

More than 200 Walks are held every year in the United States, and dozens more take place internationally. More than 900,000 people participate each year. Since 1992, the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes has raised more than $1 billion for T1D research, and has reached this milestone through the donations, large and small, raised by their walkers.” (Information obtained from: http://www2.jdrf.org)

Jenna's family started participating in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes after her diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in 2008. With this diagnosis Jenna has to check her blood sugar 10-15x a day, insert an insulin site and sensor (needle) into her body every few days, have extra supervision on field trips, after school activities, as well as play dates, and be careful about her sugar intake. Such a large responsibility for anyone to handle, especially at such a young age. For Jenna, the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes is a different day. It's a day where she can be surrounded by loved ones that support her as well as others that share the same diagnosis. It's a day where she can have fun and be a part of a community that share the same goal; to find a cure for diabetes. Her story was definitely one that touched our hearts and when we found out that the event was holding a contest for best t-shirt design, we poured all of our creative efforts in to creating a design that Jenna and her team would be proud to enter. When we found out that our design won, we were beyond excited and so happy that we could make this day that much more special for such an incredible little girl like Jenna.

Children like Jenna and the individuals that donate, participate, and educate on issues such as type 1 diabetes are truly an inspiration. It's causes like these that make us love what we do even more, especially when we are able to see our work come to life on a courageous little girl like Jenna. Even though we played just a small role, we are honored to say that we could in some way take part in such an amazing cause and hope that we can continue to do so for years to come.

Embroidered Pillowcase - Personalized gifts for Kids

In order to de-clutter some of my life I have been tackling different areas of my apartment in order to throw away some unwanted items that have been lingering around for years. In doing so, I stumbled across a pillow case that I received at a sleepover birthday party that I attended in elementary school. Immediately the memories of that night and many others flooded my brain as I began to reminisce about my younger years. A big part of my childhood was going to or having sleepovers. Whether it was just two of us, or a whole bunch of us, spending the night with my closest friends make up some of my fondest memories of my adolescence. I remember going to sleepovers in the summer, where the best part of the night was when it began to get dark and an intense game of Capture the Flag would ensue. Something about running free in the dark, giggling behind a tree with your partner in crime as you tried your hardest not to give away what you thought was an amazing hiding spot brings a smile to my face. Then there were the nights when you stayed in and played Stiff as a Board and stared in amazement at the girl across from you when your friend really did, seriously, no joke, levitate off the ground. Whether we were hyped up on sugar or delirious from the late hour that we were up, nothing beats the connection that you had with your friends on those nights. There were inside jokes that were made and that were continued at school on Monday, and for me and my friends, still continue to this day. There were secrets told among us that I still hold close to my heart. All moments that brought us closer together and that make many of us still friends as adults. I know that I can call up any one of my friends in which I shared these moments with, and with just a single word that connects us to those nights will have us on the phone for hours. Laughing, crying, reminiscing of the days of when we lived right down the street from one another and not hours away. They are moments that I hope my son experiences when he gets older. The exhilaration of trying to steal the other teams flag or the freedom of being yourself with the ones that know you best. These are the moments and traditions that I hope to pass on to my son and his friends. To encourage the importance of friendship and to cherish the innocence of adolescence. These are the moments that helped shape who I am today and I will forever hold on to the nights in which no one slept, everyone laughed, and we all looked forward to. Now that I work for a Screen Printing & Embroidery business, I too, can recreate these special times in my son's life by creating custom made pillowcases for him and his friends. Luckily my business has an extremely easy to follow website and this creative and fun idea can be available to you as well! The possibilities are endless as far as design. Simply adding the names of the kids involved, or a special friendship quote that speaks volumes to the bonds that have been made. A silly picture that they all come up with, or a logo that they spent the whole night creating. It's a simple gesture that not only will they love when they have it, but I guarantee will hang on to into adulthood. Because these are the friendships that I still have to this day and the memories that I will always cherish. To start designing these custom made pillowcases, visit http://getprinteshirts.com
