The Grand Rapids Chamber announces partnership with The Mitten State to raise funds for COVID-19 Relief

Grand Rapids, Michigan – The Grand Rapids Chamber today announced a partnership with The Mitten State to raise funds for Greater Grand Rapids Chamber Foundation to benefit those negatively impacted by the effects of COVID-19.

The fundraiser features a t-shirt designed in collaboration with the Grand Rapids Chamber and The Mitten State. The t-shirt displays an iconic Mitten State design, with an added Grand Rapids Chamber tagline, Create Great Community. Five dollars of every t-shirt purchased will go back to the Greater Grand Rapids Chamber Foundation and their COVID-19 relief efforts.

“The Grand Rapids Chamber is constantly innovating ways to support our West Michigan business community,” said Grand Rapids Chamber President & CEO, Rick Baker. “This was an opportunity to drive support to a local business while also assisting those working through the challenges of COVID-19 through the Greater Grand Rapids Chamber Foundation.”

“We remain committed to giving back to a community in which we’ve lived, moved, and returned to,” said Will Bransdorfer, Co-Founder of The Mitten State. “No matter where we end up, Grand Rapids, Michigan is our home, and we want to continue to do our part to support where our hearts will always lie.”

The t-shirts will be available for pre-order beginning Tuesday, May 5. Visit https://themittenstate.com/products/grand-rapids-river-chamber-unisex to place your order.
