Queensboro Honored with AT&T Pioneers Award
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
Fred Meyers, President and Founder of the Queensboro Shirt Company was honored today with the AT&T Pioneers Award for community service. The AT&T Pioneers are the largest group of corporate volunteers in the United States, with over 250,000 members divided into regional chapters. When approached in mid-2007 by the Pioneers to help with one of their projects in an inner-city Chicago area school, Fred responded by donating hundreds of custom printed t-shirts - one for each student involved.
Most of the Illinois giving was captured in an on-site Harmonic Threads video, http://www.harmonicthreads.com/nonweb/videos/pioneers-t.wmv This past fall, Queensboro also made a similar donation to an inner-city Atlanta middle school adopting school uniforms for the first time on a limited budget.
Since its founding in 1982, Queensboro has fostered group and community identity for individuals, small businesses and organizations by offering the highest quality custom embroidered and printed apparel at extremely affordable prices with a four piece minimum order. Queensboro's industry-unique Unconditional Ten Year Guarantee backs everything the company sells. For 25 years, Queensboro has also been assisting community organizations throughout the United States with various donations of products, embroidery and printing services. Donation requests may be sent to Queensboro via email at donations@queensboro.com.
From their 80,000 square foot Wilmington, NC headquarters, Queensboro maintains printing, embroidery, customer service, warehousing, shipping and IT operations. Furthering its objective to remain forward-thinking and provide new products and services for customers, in May 2007 Queensboro introduced digital printing services. On the cutting edge of technology, digital printing allows Queensboro to offer environmentally friendly, low cost garment printing in full color without screen charges or setup fees.
