Oceans Apparel® started as an on-site t-shirt printing business for youth sporting events. We currently partner with youth sports organizations across the country and provide our services as a fundraiser for the events. Now after 22 years and over 3 million dollars donated for youth sports, we have our own brand!

Keeping with a similar business model going into retail sales, we decided a portion of the sales proceeds should go to benefit not only something true to our name, but also something we as a company felt passionate about; ocean cleanup. For every item sold, a portion of that sale helps fund various ocean cleanup projects around the world!

Why do we do it? Around the world, we are now producing nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single use. More than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year[2].

Every shirt from Oceans Apparel® contains 5-6 water bottles worth of plastic. “Our job is to be a model for other businesses proving we can make a dollar, be a steward of our environment, and give back at the same time. These things should not be mutually exclusive.”- Tony Eytchison President of Oceans Apparel®
