Charity Fun Run T-Shirts: How to Order Printed Tees for Fundraisers

Why order printed t-shirts for a charity event?

Matching t-shirts make a fundraising team stand out in photos, help supporters spot runners on the course and give sponsors visibility. They also make a great keepsake for everyone who took part.

How do you plan a charity t-shirt order?

  1. Set your event date and work back from it. Tell us the date when you ask for a quote.
  2. Agree the design, including the charity's logo if you have permission to use it.
  3. Decide whether to add sponsor logos.
  4. Collect sizes, and names if you want them printed.
  5. Send everything together for one quote and proof.

Which printing method suits charity tees?

DTF printing suits full-colour designs, photos and individual names. Vinyl printing suits simple designs in one or two colours. We will advise on the best method for your design and quantity.

Which t-shirts are best for runners?

For running events, technical or lightweight t-shirts keep participants cooler and more comfortable. Cotton t-shirts suit walks, volunteer teams and supporters. Browse our event apparel.

Can you print names on the back?

Yes. Names, nicknames or a message such as "Running for Mum" make the shirts personal. Send us a list with each name and size, and check spellings carefully.

Should you add sponsor logos?

Sponsor logos can help cover the cost of the shirts. Collect logo files early, in the best quality available, and agree where each one goes. A back panel listing sponsors is a common layout.

Can charity t-shirts help raise money?

Some groups order extra shirts to sell to supporters, which can help fund the event. If you plan to do this, order a spread of sizes.

Do you supply hoodies too?

Yes. Some teams add hoodies for training or as a thank-you gift. Our guide to custom hoodies explains the options.

Do we supply customers near you?

We are based in Worcestershire and dispatch orders across the UK, and customers nearby can arrange local collection. See how we work with customers locally on our pages for embroidery in Smethwick and embroidery in Birmingham, or browse all areas we serve in the West Midlands.

Frequently asked questions about charity t-shirts

Can you deliver event t-shirts to a venue?

Yes. We can dispatch to the venue or organiser. Let us know the event date when you ask for a quote so we can confirm whether the timescale works.

Can you print individual names on charity shirts?

Yes. Send us a list of names and sizes and we will build them into your quote and proof.

How long will my order take?

Timescales depend on the quantity, the garments chosen and whether your logo needs preparing for embroidery. We confirm a realistic timescale with your quote, so tell us if you are working to a date such as an event, a site start or a new staff intake.

Is there a minimum order?

We welcome small orders as well as large ones, so a sole trader kitting out one van and a club ordering a full squad are both looked after. Tell us your quantity when you ask for a quote and we will advise on the best value option.

Can I see a proof before you make my order?

Yes. Once your logo is prepared we can send a visual showing the position and size on the garment for you to approve before anything is embroidered or printed.
