T-shirts raise money, awareness—and help make a difference

STOP THE VIOLENCE—Josh Yahalom, 17, a senior at Oak Park High School, and friend Tracy, model T-shirts Josh sold as part of an end-of-summer barbecue bash to raise money for the International Rescue Committee, an organization working to halt the genocide in the Sudan. Funds from the party, including proceeds from the sale of T-shirts and bracelets, went directly to the committee. To date, Josh has raised $14,000. For more information, call him at (818) 865-0556.
