I am so proud to have my designe selected as the official shirt for the Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV) this year!

This year, the AAV chose the majestic sandhill crane as the theme for their shirt design. My design was selected to represent the AAV and help raise vital funds for two important causes:

🪶Sandhill Crane Conservation: A portion of the proceeds from each shirt sale will go directly towards supporting a sandhill crane conservation project.
🪶AAV's Avian Health Grants: The remaining funds will benefit the AAV's Avian and Wild Bird Health Funds, which support critical research and education initiatives.

Want to help support these worthy causes?

The AAV's 2024 shirt is now available for purchase. For more information on how to get yours, please visit: https://www.customink.com/fundraising/aav2024

When friends passionately pursue their dreams, it's hard not to jump on board and support them. That's the story behind @ a delicious venture launched by friends and former colleagues.
