Congrats to the URI Equestrian Team: 2013 Regional Champions!

Graphic Perspective is pleased to present this custom printed and embroidered apparel to the URI Equestrian Team; regional champions of the 2013 Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) competition!

The University of Rhode Island is a part of Region 1 of the IHSA, which also includes colleges and universities in Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

Since 1999 the International Horse Show Association has been providing collegiate riders of all skills the opportunity to compete in equestrian competitions. More than 8,000 students across more than 300 colleges and universities throughout the United States participate.

During the regular show season, the URI Equestrian Team competes in horse shows against Brown University, Johnson & Wales University, Roger Williams University, College of the Holy Cross, Clark University, Rhode Island College, Becker College, and UMASS Dartmouth teams.

Unique among its peers, the URI Equestrian Team has an impressive record, placing 2nd behind Brown University for several consecutive years. This year, URI broke Brown's winning streak by taking first place in the competition.

Celebrating The Season By Giving: Fighting Childhood Arthritis

Did you know that about 50 million people in the U.S. have arthritis, and of those, about 300,000 are children under the age of 18?

Every day kids and adults suffer from this debilitating disease; that's why Team Ethan's Entourage wants to do what it can to help fight back and raise awareness of childhood arthritis by participating in the largest holiday 5k race series aimed to fight arthritis: the 2013 Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis!

The Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis is a fun and festive way to kick off your holidays by helping others! So wear a holiday themed costume, tie jingle bells to your shoelaces, and help to raise funds to fight arthritis - the nation's leading cause of disability- by running or walking with your team members and ours, and celebrate this season by giving.

Graphic Perspective is happy to be a part of the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis this year by providing custom-printed t-shirts for Ethan's Entourage team members.

The 2013 Jingle Bell Walk/Run for Arthritis will be held on December 7, 2013, at Slater Memorial Park in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Contract Embroidery Work For Small Print Shops

For several years embroidery has been growing in popularity among businesses and organizations in need of custom apparel for promotional purposes; and for good reason.

For restaurants, stores or events, embroidered t-shirts or polo shirts help set employees out from the crowd. Embroidered tops boost the image of sports teams and make a good first impression with those who see it. For educational institutions and non-profit organizations, embroidered apparel has a greater chance of catching the eye of the public or consumers; and being more durable, a brand or cause can be promoted by embroidered apparel for a long time without fear that the design will fade.

But while printing and embroidery usually go hand in hand, professional embroidery equipment for large-scale production is expensive and bulky, and the process can be time consuming. Yet, if you own or run a small printing shop, you don't want to turn down profits on embroidery work.

That's why Graphic Perspective is pleased to offer contract embroidery work to small print shops. Using state-of-the art software and a multi-head 15-color automatic embroidery machine, our embroidery process is fully automated allowing us the ability to produce high quality products for big orders at a low cost.

2013 Sail For Hope Regatta

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's annual Sail for Hope boat race around the island of Jamestown, RI!

Now in its 12th year, the regatta was originally established in 2001 to raise funds to support the NYFD firefighters, police, and victims of 9/11. The display of patriotism and generosity on and off the water made a lasting impression in the sailing community, and so the event has continued under the name "Sail For Hope," reflecting the Rhode Island State motto and aimed at supporting local charities.

To date, nearly $1 million has been raised for a variety of charities.

The 2012 Sail For Hope was another great success, helping to raise funds for The Wounded Warrior Project and the RI Red Cross Armed Services Families.

Graphic Perspective is proud to have joined this wonderful cause by providing custom embroidered hats to the teams.

If you, your organization or charity are planning a fundraiser, you can contact Graphic Perspective to get a free quote for your custom printed or embroidered apparel needs.

Graphic Perspective Joins a Maritime Tradition

In September, 2013, The Saunderstown Yacht Club in Rhode Island will host the 52nd Consecutive Bullseye National Championship, a yearly race for sailing vessels on the Eastern seaboard.

This year's regatta will be held near the birth place of the 12-1/2 hull shape vessel, a sailing and racing ship designed and built by master naval engineers in Bristol, Rhode Island more than 100 years ago.

The Saunderstown Yacht Club is a privately owned club situated on the banks of the west passage of Narragansett Bay. Founded in 1927, the club's purpose has been to promote the enjoyment of the resources of the bay.

Graphic Perspective, an ancillary of Perspectives Corporation, is proud to join the Saunderstown Yacht Club in participating in this historic occasion by providing a suite of custom embroidered and printed garments and patches for the time-honored event.
