North Carolina-based HanesBrands (asi/59528) has announced that its garment-dyed apparel brand ComfortWash has joined Hanes4Education. Exclusive to the decorated apparel industry, the program allows suppliers and their customers to help support K-12 schools through a unique cash-rebate offer. For every Hanes, Champion or ComfortWash printed apparel item ordered through suppliers, $0.10 will go directly to the K-12 school designated by the customer.

“We’re excited to add ComfortWash and provide even more opportunities for suppliers and their customers to support local schools,” said John Spivey, marketing manager for HanesBrands Branded Printwear, in a press release. “As a cash rebate program, it’s easy to explain how it directly benefits their local schools. Customers get great, quality apparel, and the local school of their choice gets a check.”

All public and private K-12 schools registered with the appropriate state agency are eligible to participate. Schools can earn a maximum of $500 per order and $5,000 total for the calendar year. Through the Hanes4Education program, HanesBrands has donated more than $1 million to schools across the country.

All screen-print customers can participate by providing their invoices to local schools. This includes businesses, teams, community organizations, sororities, fraternities, etc. The rebate form can be completed by the customer or by the recipient school. There is no paperwork required of the supplier other than to provide the customer with an invoice that clearly states that Hanes, Champion and/or ComfortWash printed products were purchased.
