Fundraiser and gala shirts
A fundraiser shirt only works if you know the cost before you set the price. Battle Born Clothing publishes the per-shirt number so a nonprofit, a gala committee or a family can set a sale price and know the margin. One shop in Yerington, Nevada; ships to every state.
Who orders
Nonprofit development staff, gala and auction committees, booster clubs, church groups, and families running a memorial or medical benefit.
What they order
- PC61 tees with a 1-color front design at 48, the cheapest reliable unit
- PC78H hoodies as the $40-and-up item, blank quoted per job
- Comfort Colors 1717 when the buyers will pay for a soft shirt
- Embroidered K500 polos for gala volunteers, and leather patch hats as auction items (https://battlebornclothing.com/pages/custom-leather-patch-hats)
A realistic job
An Oregon medical-benefit fundraiser: 48 pre-sold tees, 1-color front, dark shirt
| Line | Qty | Each | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC61 tee, black, 1-color front | 48 | $10.63 | $510.24 |
| Screen, 1 color | 1 | $20.00 | $20.00 |
| Order total | $530.24 |
That is $11.05 per shirt with setup. Sold at $20, the 48 shirts raise about $430 after shirt cost. Add a sponsor back and the per-shirt cost goes to $15.22 plus one more screen; often a sponsor pays for that.

Questions
Can we pre-sell and order the exact count?
Yes. Collect sizes with the money, then send one order. Round up to 48 if you are close; extras usually sell at the event.
Can we add a hoodie later?
Yes. A hoodie reorder uses new screens ($20 per color) but no new artwork.
