The company 26 Shirts has surpassed $2 million in donations to charitable organizations and families in need with medical concerns or unexpected family emergencies.

Launched by Bills Mafia co-founder Del Reid, 26 Shirts sells different limited-edition sports- and city-themed t-shirts. For every shirt sold, a donation is made to a specified family in need or charitable organization.

Since this all began back in Nov 2013, 26 Shirts has now raised over $2 MILLION for families in need and charitable organizations.

We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our efforts! YOU are the ones who have made this impact. https://t.co/8Eddyotlh0

"Never in my lifetime would I have thought that after starting this “one your project” back in November 2013 that we would have ever hit $1 million raised," Reid said in a press release. "For us to have now raised double that blows my mind and I am in awe of, and so grateful to, this community for supporting everything we do."

The company had previously surpassed $1 million raised in December 2020.
