FAQ's

What's next for Mer+ge?

In the future we hope to add ties, gloves, swimsuits and sneakers. Basically, a little bit of everything.
We will also continue to work with local schools and hold t-shirt design contests. We look to continue our work with non-profits as well.

Mer+ge began in the Fall of 2008.

Why does Mer+ge partner with non-profits?

In support of our philosophy of giving back we decided to partner with local nonprofits. Since all our shirts have a meaning we have matched each shirt to a specific organization. E.g. The One World shirt supports United Planet, a Boston based organization that “strives to create a world in which all people understand, respect, and support one another.”

How many non-profits does Mer+ge work with?

Right now we are working with 13 non-profits and hope to add more.

What type of work does the brand do with schools?

Public speaking and talking to kids about my journey through sports, academics and business is one of my favorite things to do. I often speak to schools prior to the t-shirt design contests. Please contact Donna de Foleschampe if you would like me to speak at your school or if you would like to hold a t-shirt contest.

How much do you give to each charity

Each nonprofit receives $1 from the sale of the apparel they have been partnered with.

How old are you?

I was born January 10th 1986.

Will you re-print any of your shirts?

We want you to know that when you buy a Mer+ge shirt there aren't thousands of others with the same shirt. Therefore, our shirts are limited edition. Our shirts are limited edition so that you don't see tons of other people wearing the same shirt. We will however, print designs in new colors etc.

We want our shirts to be an experience not a trend.
