Apparel That Brought a Community Together

Local law enforcement community

Custom shirts helped turn local support into community fundraising during the 2016 Back the Blue and 2019 K9 Pyro campaigns.

Apparel That Brought a Community Together

The challenge

Create apparel that gave community members a way to show support for local law enforcement and contribute to the organizations serving them.

Our approach

In 2016, a request for a shirt supporting a family member in law enforcement grew into a community fundraiser. Global Recognition created flag, police badge, and sheriff’s star designs, with part of the proceeds supporting local organizations.

In April 2019, Global Recognition participated in an authorized shirt fundraiser after Green Bay Police K9 Pyro was seriously injured. The effort supported his medical expenses and the department’s K9 program.

The result

The original 2016 recap recorded contributions of more than $4,200 to local organizations, including the Green Bay Police Foundation, Brown County Sheriff’s Office, and Ashwaubenon Public Safety K-9 Program.

The 2019 recap documented a check presentation to the Green Bay Police K9 Program and Pyro’s return to full duty on May 31, 2019.

These campaigns have ended. This project story preserves their history and is not an active shirt sale or donation appeal.
