About the Fundraiser

Fundraiser Transparency and Accountability Statement

Island Vibes For Life is coordinating two separate, community-driven fundraisers: one in collaboration with the administrators of the Air Force Firefighters Facebook Community, and the other with the administrators of the DoW Firefighting Apparatus Facebook page. Both fundraisers support the Gary Sinise Foundation, an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that honors and assists veterans, first responders, and their families.

Fund Collection and Distribution

  • All fundraiser sales (including T-shirts, coffee mugs, and Hawaiian shirts, etc) are processed through Island Vibes For Life’s official online store.
  • All proceeds after production and shipping costs will be donated directly to the Gary Sinise Foundation on behalf of the Facebook community associated with each fundraiser.
  • Fund totals will be reviewed and updated at least weekly throughout the duration of the fundraiser, and donation confirmations will be made available once each contribution is transferred to the foundation. Updates will be posted on the respective facebook pages.

Oversight and Contact

Questions about either fundraiser, order status, or donations may be directed to Blake Scott, founder of Island Vibes For Life and coordinator of both fundraiser campaigns.

You can reach Blake via direct message on the Island Vibes For Life Facebook page or via direct Message on the Respective Community Page.

Returns and Defective Merchandise

Each product is made to order and inspected prior to shipping to ensure quality.

  • Returns: Because these fundraisers benefit a charitable cause, all sales are considered final. However, exceptions will be made for defective or damaged items.
  • Defective Merchandise: If your item arrives misprinted, damaged, or defective, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with a photo and order number. We will promptly arrange a replacement at no cost to you.
  • Incorrect Orders: If you receive the wrong size, style, or product due to an order error, please contact us immediately. We will do our best to correct it quickly and fairly.

Our goal is for every supporter to receive a product they are proud to own, knowing it helps make a real difference.

Community Conduct and Integrity

These are positive, volunteer-driven initiatives. The purpose is to give back, not to debate or divide. We ask all participants to help maintain a respectful, supportive environment across all posts and discussions related to either fundraiser.

Commitment to Transparency

All funds raised through both fundraisers will be handled responsibly, donated transparently, and used to make a genuine difference for the heroes and families served by the Gary Sinise Foundation.

Together, we serve those who serve. 🇺🇸❤️🌴
