Change of Date
Black T-Shirt Day
Black T-Shirt Day will now take place on March 18 to coincide with the national day of mourning announced by the Prime Minister.
Co-organiser Deborah Kelland says the CHCH Heart Trust believes it is important to stay in sync with the national feeling of support for the people of Christchurch.
Christchurch Heart t-shirts have been created so Kiwis can wear their support for Christchurch earthquake victims.
New Zealanders are being urged to buy one and don it – or any black t-shirt – on National Black T-Shirt Day (Friday March 18) and make a donation to a charitable trust dedicated to helping in Christchurch.
The t-shirts are retailing for $25 with all profits after costs of around $13 going to the CHCH Heart Trust (www.chchheart.co.nz) which plans to distribute the funds through registered charities.
