As the largest student fundraiser on campus, money raised from The Shirt supports worthwhile student causes. Half of the revenue generated is allocated to The Shirt Charity Fund, dedicated to aiding students with extraordinary med ical costs. The other half of the revenue generated from the sales of The Shirt supplements student activity fees, which support student clubs and organizations. To date The Shirt Project has raised over $3.5 million. This year’s design focuses on connecting Notre Dame’s storied tradition to this year's team and to the student body as a whole. The back design highlights some of the images of that tradition that have special significance for current students. The design features Knute Rockne and the Four Horsemen, universally recognized as the founding fathers of Notre Dame lore and for many of us, the first images that come to mind when thinking of Notre Dame Tradition. Also included are Ara Parseghian, whose teams were the subject of so many of the stories our parents told about Notre Dame, and Lou Holtz, the last national champion coach at Notre Dame, and Charlie Weis, our current head coach. Finally, the slogan "This is the day and you are the team" refers to the football team, the students and the entirety of the Notre Dame community and our extraordinary opportunity to add another chapter to the greatest tra dition in college sports this upcoming fall. With the excitement surrounding the upcoming football season we are excited to be a part of The Shirt Project's great tradition. Once again I thank everyone for their continued support.
