We a year-old, independent advocacy group that fights for policies that help working families. Although it's a fundraiser, we're celebrating by trying to recreate a "family reunion" type event that will bring together corporate sponsors, individual donors and the families we represent. This is your typical barbeque, games, entertainment, festive environment that you would expect at a family reunion. The design will ideally translate to a commemorative T-shirt as well.
Our organization logo is a royal blue, so we would like to see a design that compliments that color. We would also consider that 4/c images may not translate well to a dark colored t-shirt. The emotions that we want to convey are security, harmony, togetherness, unity. Our organization name refers directly to families, so we want this included in the theme.
