United Way Day Of Caring
Physical Description:
The front starts from the top left with the familiar United Way logo (a rainbow coming from the wrist of a hand and ending on the fingertips. In between that is a celebrating person with no legs formed by a Y and dot.). The familiar font saying "United Way" is provided underneath the logo. The next idea to the right is where a lot of ideas are introduced, so please bear with it all. "Day of" is written in a thin cursivey kind of font above a thick print "CARING" that have silhouettes of people at the bottom of them. Where there would be an overlap between the two ideas there is blankness of orange. This happens on a part of the D, the little end bit of the y, and about half of the loop in the f. There are four people in two groups in the C; there is someone pushing another in a wheelchair and then a woman is holding a baby. A again has two groups but this time with five people in it. The left half confuses me as to what is going on. There appears to be a boy on the side jumping or being excited about something. The man on the left is what throws everything off. Is he pointing to something, catatonic, scolding the child or is that a gun? Certainly the boy is reacting to whatever the man is doing. The other half of the A is much more definite. On the left of it a baby is playing with something off letter under the supervision of the woman on the right side who is also talking something over with a young girl. R has a man and a woman on the left with the man going to put his arm around the woman. The right half of the R is mysterious, but unlike the first half of the A, there are two reasonable theories. Either the person on the right is peripatetically explaining something to the cross-armed person on the left, or the person on the right is angry and both are engaged in an argument. The "I" is the only letter without two groups in it and it feature a worker on the left raking as the person on the right watches. The N has the most people in it at seven. Two people on the left are moving a rectangular object, with a smaller person on the left passing the object to a bigger person on the right. A group of 5 are on the wider part of the N. A couple on the left is talking with a couple on the right who have a child old enough to walk with them. The woman in the left couple has a ponytail. The G drops back down to four people. The two people on the left are walking very close together and very close to the man on the right that appears to be carrying a 2x4 over his shoulder. 2x4 man is walking behind someone who is slightly cocked at an angle with one arm out, probably opening a door. The location and main sponsor are then written and centered underneath the text complex of images; "YOUNGSTOWN/ MAHONING VALLEY" then "UNITED WAY". That was only the front of the shirt. The back has sponsors, but as policy those other sponsors won't be discussed.
Alyssa donated this shirt after fulfilling a community service act in order to keep her scholarship money.
I honestly don't know what exactly goes on during the Day of Caring. Perhaps someone will inform me in the future.
The United Way is a worthy enough cause. I don't understand why there is not 365 days of caring, though. Unlike the Relay For Life, this charity event doesn't seem to change its logo all of the time.
The photos came out weird after being developed, so don't go thinking I have a green door. I quite like that unintended effect.
