Mission
I created Zach's Kickass Website of Greatness to raise money for cancer research and treatment along with a few other charities. I have had many close friends and family members who have been affected by this. I would like to use my superpowers of magically convincing people to wear shirts with my ugly face on them for a good cause. Other superpowers include not having dependents to take up my time or money. I only have myself for whom to care ... for, and I'm easy.
To help raise money, 100% of the money will go out to charity*. I will support the supplies and the shipping. If, for some reason, this becomes relatively popular and I'm about to go broke, I'll start having the money cover supplies and shipping, but I will make it very clear if this happens.
I was hoping to make Zach's Kickass Company of Greatness, Inc. a non-profit organization branching out from Zach Shirts and crappy artwork to raise a lot of money for different charities, but CA did not like my business plan of only losing money and I was unable to get help from any business people or lawyers for the amount I was willing to spend ($0.00). I did make some progress on the business front though. Zach's Kickass Corporation of Greatness, Inc. was purchased (for $0.00) by A Day Without Driving, a non-profit organization committed to preserving the environment. A Day Without Driving is expanding its charitable um-ber-ella to other good causes.
In 2013, with matched donations, ZachShirt raised $1470 divided amongst the Pan Mass Challenge in support of a friend's ride and Alex's Lemonade Stand. Aformentioned friend has since started an amazing and lean charity dedicated to spreading research and studies about cancer. As of September 2020, ZachShirt has raised over $8000 and is still going strong..
Here is a list of charities to which the money will go ... to:
- ACIR and The Fritsch Foundation (preferred)
- Pan Mass Challenge
- Alex's Lemonade Stand
- YSC Tour De Pink
- Partners In Health
