mamas Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 MAMAS, a charitable organization based around sustainability, would like to announce our recent collaboration with local VA artist, Reba McConnell. MAMAS commissioned 2 paintings to help raise money for this year's fundraising efforts, that we will be using on shirts and fine prints available at MAMAX in October. Please note these are only mocks, but we’re working with one of the best screen printers in the area to produce these shirts with a high leave of detail. Shirts should be available in approximately 2-3 weeks. We're taking preorders for a limited quantity of $30ea (includes shipping) and after which they will only be available at MAMAX. All proceeds benefit marine charities like The Coral Reef Foundation and The Coral Reef Alliance. If you would like to show your support and preorder a shirt before the show or can’t make it to MAMAX, please message me with your email address. We’ll send an invoice and get all your information. For more information on us and MAMAX please visit: www.midatlanticmas.org. We still have a limited number of VIP tickets available for MAMAX as well! Visit our expo page for more details.
