Help the Firefly Effect Take Flight

About this campaign

The Firefly Effect is a charitable project being created in honor of my brother, Mike Hayes, who was killed in action in 2005.

This first t-shirt fundraiser will help raise seed money to formally launch The Firefly Effect and begin building the foundation for future giving. The heart of this mission is to carry Mike’s light forward by supporting girls’ opportunities through sports, leadership, education, and confidence-building.

Every shirt purchased helps us take the first real steps toward turning remembrance into action.

Thank you for helping us begin.

This fundraiser is seed money for, The Firefly Effect — helping us plant the first light and grow it into something lasting.


One Light Can Change the Dark.
