OctoberNinth - a holiday, a parent (dad) passing last month & memorializing; a tale as old as time?

[RJFoctoberNINTH]

After 2 years fighting cancer, we lost Jerry on 11/22

Before the services, I randomly asked my brother "who decides those "nationalcookieday" type BS? anyone? everyone?"

So, that lead to: https://www.facebook.com/events/974694149810707?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surf...

"how do we get the word out?" "idk, a site? some shirts?"

"lets just sell shirts in general - why not? make dad's birthday a kinda brand"

"oh and let's donate money with every purchase" "yes"

-----------

My brother died 14 months earlier, and my family made a 501c3 that raised 00000000 money - we're doing a golf tourney next year, and I realize the point isn't too raise the most, but itjust felt stupd we did it at all.

THis, however, has been fun, and I hope is unique, quirky, niche here in the Shopify world -

I do comedy, manage a sales team by day, and built this (shitty) site with no experience during COVID = SaturdayNightProject.com

If you were us -

what would you go for? some ads i tried out were very comedic/"i know these are ads" type ads

lean into the "dad clothes"?

how crazy sould designs be?

are there any artists who would desisn stuff, take commission and have their name attached?

idk, i like to continue to give/get in all directions

hope i did this right !

thanks all
