The Red Shirt™ Chapter Information

Hit a high note with your chapter’s fundraising

The Red Shirt™ is back and ready to once again help your chapter’s fundraising efforts — whether you’re looking to raise money for your chapter’s general fund or scholarship program.

To take part in this unique program:

1. Fill out The Red Shirt™ Chapter Participation Form
2. Verify your chapter’s special code (WAA will contact you regarding this)
3. Promote The Red Shirt™ and raise money for your chapter!

This year, The Red Shirt™ will be sold exclusively online, so direct customers to uwalumni.com/TheRedShirt and instruct them to enter your chapter’s special code during checkout. Then $4.00 of every shirt sold online will go to your chapter.

Resources to help promote The Red Shirt™:

Online tools (uploaded into your chapter’s Media Manager after you sign up)

E-mail template (to promote The Red Shirt™ to alumni in your chapter area)
E-mail header (for use in other e-mails)
Web graphic of The Red Shirt™ (for use on your chapter’s Web page)

Downloadable PDF detailing the history of The Red Shirt™ (great for use as talking points during chapter events) — Coming soon!
Customized flyers to hand out at chapter events (including your chapter's special code)
A sample of The Red Shirt™ to display at your events

This promotion is available for the entire 2009-2010 fiscal year (ending June 2010) but WAA encourages chapters to sign up as soon as possible.

In early January and early June, WAA will issue a check for the proceeds your chapter earned and a summary of shirts sold.
