The T-shirts will sell for $10 each with $6 going to the relief work, Steve Rutherford, preventionist, said.
To purchase one of the T-shirts contact any of the members of the Sallisaw Youth Coalition or call Rutherford at (918) 775-7787 extension 2333 or Sharon Day at (918) 775-7787 extension 2331.
The Sallisaw Youth Coalition is a counterpart of the Sallisaw New Opportunities Working (NOW) Coalition, an anti-drug coalition in Sallisaw, which was started by Prevention Specialist Sharon Day during the 2008-9 school year.
“The Youth Coalition is for students 12 through 19. You don’t have to attend Sallisaw Schools or live in Sallisaw, we want to include young people from all of Sequoyah County in this endeavor, as they try to touch the other young people here in this county with their message,” Rutherford said.
