The shirts contain art by artist Jason Wilkins that was inspired by his painted mural at the PTBOCanada studio.
All proceeds from the clothing sales will go towards the Canadian Mental Health Association Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (CMHAKPR).
"It's a great initiative especially with the holidays coming up,” said Caitlin Mcintosh, CMHAKPR communications and community relations specialist. “It’s great that the money is going to fund our new mobile mental health and addictions clinic."
Leon’s Peterborough kickstarted the campaign by donating $1,000 during its announcement at the PTBOCanada studio.
"It's awesome to be able to contribute back to our community," said Tom Reburn, Leon’s Peterborough general manager. "This is a really important cause, everything with that's been COVID going on, people's mental health has definitely been at the forefront of everything and being able to contribute something positive to the community is priceless for me.”
