DESIGN STUDIO
Each year, the Mary’s Fairies board will come up with a theme in hopes to ignite some creativity amongst kids between the ages of 4 and 16. These young fairies will have an opportunity to design a t-shirt in line with a pre-selected theme. Friends and family will then vote on a design and that will become the official shirt design for that year. T-shirt proceeds will go towards funding pediatric cancer research. Click on our 'Donate' page to see detailed information on where our funds are being utilized.
This year’s theme is “Fairy Magic.” Fairies carry the most special kind of magic – one that makes people smile and gives people hope. As Mary’s Fairies, each of you holds this magic inside of you. Create a design that illustrates this one-of-a-kind magic and what it means to you.
