Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

From team captain PecanPie:

There are very few times when I am ever interested in collecting things with people's autographs. One major exception is the time I asked David to autograph a T-shirt that I had printed with the Crush Kids' Cancer team logo (created by Nancy ER). I had brought it with me on a whim to his last U.S. concert in Beaver Creek. My flight had taken off before I even knew he would be going on a mission and that this would be his last concert for 2 years. This was the only time I ever had the nerve to go to the tour bus to request an autograph, so this autographed T-shirt is the only one in existence (I've printed the T-shirt without autograph for people before). Once I received the autograph, I didn't want to part with the shirt because it has such sentimental value. However, I've decided that what would mean even more to me is to see this team raise funding for SU2C and awareness for pediatric cancer, so I am offering this one-and-only T-shirt in a raffle. Please note, that we will likely retire this logo before the next challenge in order create a simplified monochromatic logo that can be printed more easily.

Anyone who donates a total of $150 or more to the Crush Kids' Cancer SU2C team between August 16th-29th will be eligible to enter the raffle to win. If you wish to enter the raffle after donating, send me an e-mail at su2carchie@gmail.com. The T-shirt is pre-shrunk cotton, size XL. The photo is shown and there is a video from cadthu that shows David signing the shirt at about 3:20

Thanks all!
