#AnthonyStrong

"About a month ago a very close friend of ours 24 year-old Anthony Pilone was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Anthony is an extremely caring friend, brother, and son. We wanted to do something to show Anthony support and CustomInk gave us that chance. We created shirts that read, "Be Positive, Be Proud, Be Pilone #anthonystrong #VFL" and sent them to his close friends from the University of Tennessee and his immediate family without Anthony knowing. The first order of shirts went to 22 people in 9 different states. We then painted the giant rock at the University of Tennessee (can be seen in collage) to match the shirt. One afternoon, we all surprised Anthony by sending him a picture of the rock and followed it with individual pictures of everyone wearing the shirt in support across the country in some pretty recognizable places. The flood of pictures of us wearing the shirts supplied by CustomInk was a huge success and has lifted Anthony's spirits as he continues his fight with cancer. The picture we are submitting to this contest is a collage of all those pictures sent that day to Anthony with a picture of Anthony in the middle wearing his shirt. CustomInk was so terrific to work with throughout this process. We needed a high quality product fast and CustomInk delivered for us. Every step of the way they communicated and supported our needs. Thanks CustomInk!" - #AnthonyStrong (Sep 02, 2015)
