## Caption

For Pride month, we wanted to do something rainbow and fabulous. 
But we also wanted to make a difference that goes beyond the month of June.

100% of the profits from this shirt will benefit onentenphx, a local Phoenix-based organization that provides resources for LGBTQ youth and young adults. And we will be donating the profits year-round, at the end of each month. 
As close friends, family, and fans of LGBTQ folks, this is a cause close to our hearts that supports some of the most marginalized and vulnerable members of our society. 
In this day and age, 40% of homeless youth in the U.S. are LGBTQ, with most of them having become homeless between the ages of 12 and 15. 
68% of them have been rejected by their own families, and 54% of them have been abused by their own family members. 
Organizations like one•n•ten seek to help young LGBTQ people by providing access to emergency relief funds, housing programs and homelessness services, career workshops, and more. 
From one•n•ten's website: "one•n•ten is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving and assisting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth ages 14 to 24. From weekly discussion groups to fun, social networking events, we create a safe space, mentally and physically, for youth of all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. We also offer resources to promote healthy choices and living." We will be doing similar merch fundraisers for other charitable organizations throughout the year.
