But here’s the important part: 100% of all profits generated from sales of How-To Geek logo gear will be donated to the Red Cross. That’s right, we’re not trying to make money off these at all. In fact, we’re losing money because we have to pay a fee for the store. But that’s alright as long as the money is going to a good cause, and with all the natural disasters that have happened over the last few years, it’s a great way to give back a little to the organization that helps people… while wearing a fun got geek? t-shirt: Or you can drink your coffee from a got geek? mug… like I am doing right now.
