Custom Merch for Nonprofits in Colorado Springs, CO
Merch Mob makes fundraising tees and hoodies, volunteer shirts, and walk, run and ride shirts for nonprofits in Colorado Springs, CO, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Colorado Springs. With a median age of 35.7, under the US 38.9 (Census ACS, 2020-2024), Colorado Springs runs a little younger than the country, so a volunteer shirt with a design people would wear on a weekend does more than a plain logo.

What Colorado Springs's weather means for nonprofits
Average highs reach 70°F only from May to September here, so long sleeves suit more of the event calendar than tees do, and a summer race is the main exception. Long-sleeve weather covers 6 months, November to April, so volunteers need a hoodie or jacket for much of the year, and a fleece thank-you gets used right away. Winter nights here drop well below freezing and summer afternoons run hot, so an organization with events in every season needs both a tee and a hoodie in the volunteer kit. About 33 inches of snow fall in a typical winter, so plan winter fundraisers for indoor venues and save the outdoor walk for the snow-free months. Freezing nights come about 160 times a year, a third of the year or more, so long-sleeve volunteer shirts and a warm hat for early shifts are core gear rather than extras.
