An OA Christmas

Hi Friends and Family!

I wanted to let you all know about a cool and tangible gift.

After much anticipation, Opportunitas Aequa (OA) has just launched a new line of t-shirts called the “1 for 1 tees”. For every t-shirt sold, OA guarantees that a soccer ball will be donated to a local program helping at-risk and war affected children. For the next 3 months, any 1 for 1 tees sold represent soccer balls going to war-torn Northern Uganda in April (pics of the balls in action will be posted on our site).

We are launching this line of shirts in time for Christmas so that you can not only provide a gift for someone you know but also for a child in need.

The t-shirts (made from 100% organic materials) come in 2 designs and are $34 each.

Also, for $60 dollars, you can get a package that includes: a t-shirt of your choice, an OA Calendar and the guarantee that a ball gets donated (there are only 20 of these packages available).

The t-shirts and calendar packages are available online, at our shop: http://shopoa.bigcartel.com/products
Or, if you live in Victoria, you can also get the t-shirts at HTO on Broad St.

If you are having any difficulty please send an email to theoashop@gmail.com and we will get back to you right away.

We have limited #’s of these shirts available and we are hoping to sell all of them by Dec 21st.

Many thanks in advance for your support and also to those who have already purchased shirts. Your purchase will directly impact the lives of children who have been affected by war!

Best wishes!

Gavin (for the OA Team)

p.s. Please pass on this msg to your friends and family and/or post it on your Facebook profile. The success of these projects is only possible with your support. thanks!

Opportunitas Aequa launches online Shop!

September 12, 2008 at 3:10 pm · Filed under OA & You, Other News

——

OA is very excited to announce the creation of a preliminary online shop aimed at not only providing a tangible way for people to support its projects but also providing consumers with a product that has both high ethical and quality standards. 100% of the proceeds from the sales at the OA shop go directly to help facilitate OA’s projects — both abroad and locally.

For now, the OA shop consists of an assortment of OA t-shirts and select photos from our most recent projects in Rwanda and Ecuador.

The OA Shirts are available in two general categories:

1) a brand new line of 100% organic cotton shirts, with original OA designs, manufactured in a sweatshop-free environment;

2) past OA designs from our fundraisers and soccer camps, which are available at a discounted price.

The new line of shirts comes in a variety of colours and are also available at HTO Sun Surf and Swimwear, on Broad Street, in Victoria.

The shirts are screened locally, in Victoria, by Incite Screening Company (we should also note that they have given OA a significantly discounted price allowing a greater % of the retail cost to go to OA’s “groundwork”, overseas and in BC), and the stock is from American Apparel’s organic line of shirts.

Furthermore, for every project, OA will illustrate what the funds raised from the OA Shop specifically contributed to the project. From number of soccer balls to the % of an Eco-friendly field re-construction, those who bought something from the OA Shop will know how much of a collective impact they had.

Also, if you have specific questions about the shop or if you want to get more involved with the Shop, then please email OA’s Andrew Brownlee at brownleeandrew@gmail.com

Everyone at OA is very excited about the shop, and we are asking everyone in the OA community to spread the word about it and about our shirts in HTO.

Many thanks!

The OA Team.
