Haw Ridge t-shirts are available for pre-order through July 12th!
The t-shirts features our fresh Haw Ridge logo designed by Sara Whitt of SW Creative. Available in two color choices - lavender and yellow - these t-shirts will be available in sizes XS to XXL for $20. Funds raised through the sale of these t-shirts will go directly to building and improving the trails at Haw Ridge Park.
Send your choice of colors, sizes and quantities to cvtaswag@gmail.com by July 12th and we'll contact you when they are ready to pick up. Don't worry, we'll order extra if you need more or forget to order one for your favorite trail buddy (XS will be the perfect size for some of our favorite trail dogs and kiddos!)
