6th annual pride collaboration with OUTSaskatoon
Each year since 2017 we have collaborated with OUTSaskatoon to release a design in support of Pride Home. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support this organization and proud that we’ve been able to donate more than $55,000.
As a result of these efforts, and donations from many other organizations and individuals, Pride Home is in a healthier financial position.
In 2022, OUTSaskatoon suggested that we redirect our donations to a fund that needs more of a boost; The Trans Care Fund.
The Trans Care Fund is a microgrant available to transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming community members who need financial assistance for gender-affirming care. Applicants can request funding for various needs, up to a maximum of $1500 per person. Some examples of what the fund can be used for include identification document change, gender-affirming care, gender-affirming surgeries, mileage to receive gender-affirming care/surgeries, gender-affirming gear, and more.
Hardpressed is excited to announce
that we were able to
Donate a total of $16,000
to the Trans Care Fund
from the proceeds of the 2022 Pride clothing collection.
To learn more or find out how you can donate directly, visit OUTSaskatoon.
OUTSaskatoon's mission is to uplift 2SLGTBQIA+ people by leading, serving, and supporting in a dynamic community. They foster physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health through intentional services and meaningful engagement.
Garment Care
Rather than a screen print, this design is applied using a heat press transfer. This allowed us to include all of the colours of the inclusive flag whereas screen printing is limited to six colours. These garments must be cold-washed and hung to dry to maintain their quality.
*The 2022 collab is SOLD OUT, but keep an eye out in June of 2023 for the next one.
