How to Sell Breast Cancer Awareness Shirts for Fundraisers and Events
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to raise money, show support, and spread awareness through custom t-shirts. Whether you're organizing a local walk, school fundraiser, or charity event, selling breast cancer awareness DTF transfers and shirts is a powerful way to make a difference—and generate funds. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to sell these shirts successfully, even if you’re just getting started.
Step 1: Choose the Right Designs
Designs matter. Select Breast Cancer Awareness DTF transfers that resonate emotionally. Popular themes include:
- Pink ribbons with florals or butterflies
- Messages like “Her Fight is My Fight,” “Faith Over Fear,” and “Survivor”
- Team or squad-based designs (great for walks and school spirit)
- Faith-based slogans with crosses or uplifting verses
Offering a variety of styles helps you appeal to different audiences—supporters, survivors, and families alike.
Step 2: Price for Profit and Purpose
To raise money effectively, price your shirts with both your cost and your cause in mind. Use our free T-Shirt Pricing Calculator to set prices that cover expenses and maximize donations. Be transparent: let buyers know how much of their purchase supports the cause.
Step 3: Offer Pre-Orders or Bundles
Reduce risk by taking pre-orders before printing. You can also offer bundles, like:
- Shirt + Sticker Pack
- Family 4-Pack at a discount
- Team Sets (10+ shirts for one group price)
This increases average order value and helps build momentum before your event even starts.
Step 4: Promote on Social Media and In-Person
Use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to promote your shirts. Share stories of survivors, behind-the-scenes printing videos, and updates on how much you’ve raised. In person, sell at local schools, churches, gyms, or sporting events. Set up a simple table or booth and bring extras in various sizes.
Step 5: Make It Easy to Order
If you’re using DTF transfers to make shirts yourself, print what’s ordered and ship or deliver locally. If you don’t want to print yourself, partner with a local shirt maker—or contact us at We Print U Press to help fulfill the orders, we can print, press, pack and ship for you! You can also set up an online storefront to manage everything from one place.
