Shannon Anello thought of turning a simple idea into a big business. He wanted to use his Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design and Computer Art to inspire kids and help children in need. She created When I ® T-shirts with a unique design. The kids have figures like sticks that show a cute way of interest or a person’s profession. All the way from baby ounce to growing sizes, there is a shirt for everyone, and if he doesn’t have a specific profession, he will ask you, he will design one for you.
While growing up®‘s profession is more than playing in a shirt, Shannon has also created a foundation to support many causes such as autism and cystic fibrosis He has created a t-shirt design where a percentage of the autism census will be donated for each shirt sold (see image 2). Shannon also donated his shirts to various schools for auction to provide new photography equipment, supplies and more. Shannon also helped support PBJ Connections, a nonprofit-organizations that provides mental and behavioral therapy for horses.
Future goals for the Foundation include growing® money to help children face life-threatening challenges such as violence, disease, and poverty. Fundraisers for other organizations can also be arranged through Shannon.
When Grown® T-shirts are adorable, well-made and very unique. They come in long and short sleeves, ounce and more. What makes them stand out? The plan can be customized based on gender, occupation and ethnicity. My whole family got Growing Up shirts for Christmas (see picture 4). We will put lots of words in them. Growing With® is located in Blacklick, Ohio.
