Fairfax, VA \u2013 August 26, 2014<\/h3>\n

\"Unity
\nAs millions of students head back to school, CustomInk, the \u201cdesign online\u201d custom t-shirt company for groups and occasions, today released the results of a national survey on teens\u2019 experiences with bullying. The survey finds that bullying is still a major issue among American teens in the 10 largest metro areas, with 83 percent saying they have been teased or bullied, and 72 percent saying they worry about being bullied by peers. While bullying is a common concern, teens also appear ready to do something about it, with 72 percent saying they would unite as a group to show they are against bullying (e.g. attending an event, joining a club, or social media activities).<\/p>\n

To help teens stand up against bullying, CustomInk is launching its 4th annual Be Good to Each Other<\/a> bullying prevention campaign. Coinciding with the back-to-school season and October\u2019s National Bullying Prevention month, the campaign encourages student groups and others to take a stand for kindness and tolerance by designing and wearing custom bullying prevention t-shirts. CustomInk will handle the printing and fulfillment at cost, allowing 100 percent of profits from the sales of bullying prevention shirts to benefit CustomInk\u2019s non-profit partner\u2013PACER\u2019s National Bullying Prevention Center<\/a>, which unites, engages and educates communities nationwide to address bullying through its resources.<\/p>\n

Celebrities Unite for Bullying Prevention<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Dennis<\/a>The campaign is supported by leading celebrities and athletes, including Justin Tucker and Dennis Pitta (Baltimore Ravens), Lauren Potter (Glee), AnnaSophia Robb (The Carrie Diaries), and many others who have designed custom t-shirts and are participating pro bono because they feel strongly about this issue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomInk is all about people coming together in positive ways, and this new survey illustrates the importance of group strength and action in solving the issue of bullying among American teens,\u201d said CustomInk co-founder and CEO Marc Katz. \u201cOur Be Good to Each Other campaign uses the power of custom t-shirts to bring people together and help stop bullying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lauren<\/a>Each celebrity has designed their own custom bullying prevention t-shirt to be sold throughout the campaign, with 100 percent of the profits benefiting PACER\u2019s National Bullying Prevention Center. Celebrities will also utilize the power of social media to engage and connect with their fans to spread a message of acceptance and kindness.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Be Good to Each Other campaign united thousands of people through custom bullying prevention t-shirts, and raised more than $40,000 for PACER\u2019s National Bullying Prevention Center.
