Todd modeled the “Prayers for Pearl” shirt on Saturday afternoon.
We wanted to show some love to Dave Jacobs (former SU kicker and owner of Shirt World) for talking with us about the “Prayers for Pearl” t-shirt that he conceived along with Brandon Steiner.
Today 1000 shirts were given away (courtesy of SideArm Sports) for the SU game against Georgia Tech in the Carrier Dome.
Steiner has undertaken a gofundme project to help with Pearl Washington’s healthcare costs.
Proceeds from the t-shirt sales will go to benefit Pearl’s medical expenses as well.

Mayor Stephanie Miner gave the State of the City Address at the Southwest Community Center last night.
She may have gotten a shout-out from First Lady Michelle Obama at the U.S.
Conference of Mayors; she may have been selected to the prestigious Rodel Fellowhip Program (Aspen Institute), but last night Mayor Stephanie Miner had to focus on reality here in Syracuse, the city she leads, the city where she resides.
During her 2016 State of the City Address at the Southwest Community Center, she painted with broad strokes when citing the accomplishments of her administration, including new inspiring economic development projects. At the same time, she didn’t turn a blind eye to some of those unsavory details that color our current condition.
Mayor Miner even evoked the empathetic spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as she reminded the bipartisan audience that true civic engagement occurs when all people are integrated into the success of a metropolis and inequality doesn’t lead to abandonment.
It’s never an easy job, but someone has to do it.
