We love Nor’easter Apparel! Buy your shirt to Support Big Tancook Island Emergency Response Association

🚨 FUNDRAISER PLEASE SHARE🚨 Dumping Day marks the first day of the lobster fishing season on the East Coast, when boats go out to ‘dump’ their traps.

All profits from the sale of this t-shirt during the month of October will go to support the Tancook Island Emercgency Response Association. Emergency responders are vital workers in our community, espeically when you live on an island that's accessible only by boat!

The people of Tancook have been such BIG supporters of Nor'easter, I've been looking for a heartfelt way to say thank you.

We've also been asked multiple times by the lobster industry why we haven't created a "lobster" t-shirt?! Since lobster fishing makes a big portion of the island economy, this felt like the perfect mashup!

Fundraiser tees will begin shipping on Oct 11.

🚨 Not available in store yet. But you can choose local pickup to save shipping. 🚨
