Mikah Martin, the 5 y.o. son of Kim Oglesby Martin & Jesse Martin, was recently diagnosed with Berkitt's Lymphoma.
This fundraiser is to help support Mikah & his family as he battle's this cancer. Mikah will receive approximately 50% of the shirt costs depending on the total amount of shirts sold.
The Deadline to order is March 11th & production of the shirts will begin AFTER the order is closed.
Pickup/Distribution locations & times will be announced after the order is complete. We are tentatively planning to have pickup locations locally, in the surrounding towns (Springfield, Decatur, Lincoln), & to the Mount Pulaski Schools.
If you live outside of central IL or do not have someone locally that can get your order to you, there is a shipping option on the website - we ask that ONLY non-local people use it.
