Our names are Veen Harding, Ruby Jo Hatlevig, Josefina De Sousa, Asia Watts, and Lexuan Jiang, the team behind the "Bluesky Tees" project in collaboration with Inclusion Revolution. Our mission is to spread awareness and create opportunities for marginalized people through creative endeavors. With your support, we can work to achieve a more inclusive and supportive global community.

Our partners at Inclusion Revolution have always been passionate about building a community of understanding and acceptance. Through their very own Rise Up Café, they have created many new employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and worked with other businesses and organizations to provide job training and new places of employment.

Rise Up Café now enters the next chapter of its story, with their new location opening soon in the SRQ airport. To fundraise for expanding their efforts in increasing rates of employment, they will mark this new chapter by hosting their very own "Plane Pull For Inclusion," an opportunity for teams to participate in a tug-of-war with a plane at SRQ.

With the donations gained from our fundraiser, Bluesky Tees will utilize our creative skills to sponsor participating teams with matching T-shirts. Custom apparel is fun to create, and elevates energy and a sense of unity among each team. As we already have the necessary talent and equipment available to us, we plan to create and print designs that any participating team will love, so they can focus all their efforts on the fundraising portion of the event.

Reaching our primary goal will provide us with the supplies needed to design and print custom shirts for two teams, with our stretch goal being to further support Rise Up Café with supplies as they transition to their new location.

A donation of any amount will aid in spreading awareness for this important event, and enable us to use our artistic talents to change our community for the better. We are so grateful for any support you can offer, and hope you are inspired to join us in the movement for inclusion!
