T-Shirt Fundraiser To Give Proceeds To Vienna Businesses

VIENNA, VA — As the coronavirus outbreak causes uncertainty for the future of Vienna businesses, one small business wants to help. French Press Printing is creating a #supportingviennava T-shirt as a fundraiser for Vienna businesses in April.

In a Facebook post, owner French Press Printing Sarah Bohn asked Vienna businesses to participate by sending their logo to be displayed on the back of the T-shirt. She plans on making T-shirts available to the community in mid-April. The minimum price will be $20 plus tax, but additional donations will be accepted. She hopes to sell 1,000 shirts with 100 percent of net proceeds split equally between participating businesses.

"We all need to stick together to get through this and please know that this Vienna community always has your back," Bohn wrote.

The fundraiser is open to brick-and-mortar businesses in Vienna. Interested businesses should send their logo in jpg or png format by April 10 to sarahjbohn@me.com.

Patch is compiling a directory to let customers know which Vienna small businesses are open and closed. Vienna businesses can fill out our form with their operating status and information on how customers can support them. We plan to share the information with readers throughout the coronavirus crisis.
