We've spent our lives in classrooms and on ball fields. We know what our schools go without.
Three Moons was started by a Madison family. One of us has spent more than 20 years in the classroom. The other is a Marine veteran who both taught and coached football and wrestling in the great state of Florida.
I've stood in the coach's shoes.
Fundraising was always one of the most frustrating parts of coaching. There's never enough money coming down to properly fund our sports programs, so parents get pulled in to help out. Instead of just asking parents to donate money, this is a chance to give them something back for supporting their kids' programs.
Now I'm in the parent's shoes.
Between my daughter's softball and swim and my son's swim, it felt like every team and every school was just asking for money. We paid $1,600 for one season of softball. My wife is still a teacher, and I watch how much she spends out of her own pocket every year. The school asks, then every sport asks, and parents are tired of reaching into their pockets.
So we decided to do something about it.
I've been blessed through hard work, and I'm in a position to build something that gives back. I know the teams need money. I know coaches don't have the time to run a fundraiser. And I know parents are tired of just writing checks. So we built a company where families get a quality shirt they'll actually wear, and the school gets a real share of every order.
Our kids are our future. They need every bit of help we can give them. If we can help our local schools and youth teams, that's why we're here.
Why 25% of our revenue?
We originally wanted to split our profit 50/50 with your school. After talking with our lawyers, we chose to make it 25% of revenue instead. It's a clear number that's easy to track on every order. It works out to about half of our profit.
The other half covers the shirts, the ink and the packaging, plus the hours it takes to press every shirt by hand. What little is left goes back into new equipment, like printers and presses, so we can keep giving.
When you buy with your school's code, 25% of our revenue goes straight back to your school.
