T-SHIRTS HONOR THE MEMORY OF FALLEN DETECTIVE RAFAEL RAMOS PROCEEDS BENEFITTING THE DETECTIVE RAFAEL RAMOS FOUNDATION
NEW YORK , NY , USA , August 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As New York City and law enforcement nationwide prepare to mark the 5 year anniversary of the death of Detective Rafael Ramos, a new t-shirt is designed to remember the NYPD hero and strengthen his namesake foundation. The company Silverback Spirit created the apparel with a charitable mission of taking action. Its founder is JW Cortés, an actor, singer, and philanthropist, who was touched by the tragedy, connected with the Ramos family and became a foundation board member in 2017.
“My hope is that all who wear this shirt will be reminded of this great man, who despite the monstrous act that took his life, his legacy lives on and continues to serve the greater good. His memory stands for love, strength, and empathy”, says JW Cortés.
All of the proceeds from the sale of the Ramos-dedicated merchandise will go to the foundation. The Detective Rafael Ramos Foundation2 organizes several annual events including a student backpack distribution and toy drive for the local community.
