GMG Logo Contest Winner Black Swan Design, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
While away I was wracking my brain trying to think of some ways that would have a decent impact to help the family of Matteo Russo.
I just got in touch with Rob Newton, the manager of The Cape Ann Community Cinema and asked if we could donate a portion of what the gate is from the upcoming G-GAP presentation at Cape Ann Community Cinema to the fund that has been established for Matteo’s family.
He said sure, so Cape Ann Community Cinema will take the regular gate and 30% will go to the fund for the family.
The event is going to be January 28th at 7:00PM
There’s more though.
I just ordered a bunch of T shirts that Paul Frontiero has graciously agreed to silk screen for free and Beth Swan From Beth Swan Design is offering her winning GoodMorningGloucester Logo design and art skills to the project.
So if you haven’t been able to contribute to help the family but would like to, I should have the Tshirts at the GGAP next Wednesday night for $20. 100% of the money from the sale of the TShirts will go to the family on top of the money from the gate.
It’s not going to be a percentage of the money from the sale of the tshirt minus the cost, but every cent donated for the tshirt will go to help the family.
Hopefully some of the regular CAO and fans of GMG and will come on out in support.
Much thanks go out to Rob Newton, Paul Frontiero and Beth Swan for helping with the project.
Good Morning Gloucester 
can’t make it to the show, but I’d love to buy a shirt or two in support of GMG and Matteo Russo. Will you have little kids’ sizes or just adults? Will you have any at the store?

Thanks, but to be clear GMG will make zero on the sale of the t shirts every cent of the money will go to the family. All of the costs associated with procuring the shirts, designing them, and printing them has been donted. I ordered 6 adult size smalls so I’m guessing that would fit a kid. Thanks again. I’m sure what we don’t sell at G-GAP Ill make available.

Good morning Joey, I would love to get 2 t-shirts if at all possible, read the story in the paper while I was in Gloucester. It is possible to buy 2 and have them mailed to me??

Sure we’ll make that happen for you. I’ll let you know when they are done. I just ordered the tshirts yesterday.

ok – definitely do another post when the shirts are ready. This is a great thing you’re doing, and I get to support GMG (by wearing the shirt) and support the Russo family by buying the shirt

Joey:
This is a wonderful gesture that you are doing for Matteo Russo’s wife and children.
Also, I thought it may be a nice idea for anyone wishing to give a little gift (i.e. books, educational toys) to little Salvatore Russo (Matteo’s 3 year old son). You had mentioned bringing something with us to the event at the Gloucester Stage on Wednesday, January 28th. Just a thought to cheer the little guy…… Thanks, Linda
