Donate to Tsunami Waves, get cool t-shirt - A Hunt and Peck

Viva el Birdos is no stranger to the t-shirt fundraiser. We have done a few ourselves to help benefit Cardinals Care, one shirt inspired by Carlos Martinez himself. It appears Carlos Martinez's foundation, Tsunami Waves, is taking a page out of the same book. With a minimum donation of $25, you can receive this awesome shirt:

Per Tsunami Waves website, the foundation's mission is to inspire and empower children to achieve their full potential and make their dreams a reality. Tsunami Waves has previously held fundraising events to give back to the city of St. Louis and Carlos's homeland, the Dominican Republic.

On a personal note, helping children is a cause near and dear to my heart. I have always felt that children are our future and if we want to make the world a better place, we must start with making it better for them. I adore Carlos and his foundation and eagerly await my t-shirt!
