T-Shirt Charity event

It wouldn’t be a QuakeCon event if there wasn’t an awesome t-shirt you could purchase with profits going towards a good cause. This year’s shirts are a cat and dog themed shirt, the cat one designed around Deathloop and the dog designed around Doom. Profit from the sales of the t-shirts will be split between Dallas Pets Alive and FOUR Paws. The t-shirts can be purchased via Custom Ink.
