Starship Foundation Chief Executive Andrew Young says he hopes the combination of a leading designer, a major national retailer and a compelling cause will prove to be a huge success.

“We strive each year to fund a range of local, regional and national services to ensure children receive the best medical care possible – no matter where they live,” he says.

“We are very proud to use proceeds from each T-shirt sold to support the New Zealand TelePaediatric Service (NZTPS), a video-conferencing network which uses technology to cleverly share medical expertise within New Zealand and beyond.”

Andrew says the T-shirt campaign also celebrates 15 years of amazing support from The Warehouse, which has been generously contributing to Starship since the hospital opened in November 1991.

The Warehouse spokesperson, Cynthia Church, says she is delighted that New Zealand's most famous national retailer can support such a worthy cause with such a trendy clothing item that kids will love wearing.

“Wearing these great Ts is a fantastic way for kids to help other kids and look pretty cool as they do it',” says Cynthia.

“When you purchase one of the Starship Foundation Ts by WORLD you know that, while you may be buying a T-shirt for one child, you are also helping to save another. With Christmas just around the corner that makes these Ts the ideal present too.”
