Volunteer shirts, event tees, and fundraiser apparel for nonprofits, races, and community events across North Carolina. Sew NC produces every order in house and plans it around your event date.
Events do not move. A charity 5K, a community festival, or a volunteer day needs every shirt sorted and ready before it starts. Sew NC produces every order in house in Winston-Salem, from the quote and digital proof to printing, so production is planned backward from your event date.
One order can combine shirts for volunteers and participants with embroidered polos or caps for staff and donors. Reorders are matched to your previous order, so next year’s event or annual fundraiser is quick to set up.
From community festivals to charity races to volunteer crews, we produce the shirts that make a group look like one.
Festivals & Community Events
Event shirts and staff tees for festivals, community days, and conferences, so organizers and staff are easy to find.
Races & Fundraisers
Custom race shirts, fundraiser tees, and walk shirts for 5Ks, charity events, and campaigns that raise money for a cause.
Nonprofits & Volunteers
Volunteer shirts, staff apparel, and nonprofit merch for organizations, camps, and community groups.
Review a digital proof with placement, size, and colors before production. Nothing is made until you approve it.
High-tensile threads and durable inks chosen to resist fading, cracking, and wear through repeated washing.
Orders labeled, packaged, and sorted by location or crew size so distribution is effortless upon arrival.
Most events order one main shirt and add a few extra pieces for staff, sponsors, or merch sales. These can all be decorated in the same order.
Affordable t-shirts from event-friendly brands like Gildan and Port & Company, printed with your event design, cause, or year.
Bright shirts that make volunteers and event staff easy to spot in a crowd.
Hoodies and long sleeves for fall events, donor gifts, and merch supporters wear all year.
Embroidered caps and custom patch hats for staff, donors, and fundraiser sales.
Browse our offerings and choose apparel or gear that works for you and your brand, upload your logo, and complete checkout.
We always send a proof of each item for your final approval, and you can request changes before production begins.
Each item is embroidered or printed in house with the thread or ink colors you chose.
Once your order is ready, you will be notified that it has shipped or that it is ready for pick-up whichever option you chose at checkout.
The right method depends on how many shirts you need, how many colors your design uses, and whether each shirt needs its own name or year.
The best fit for caps, polos, and jackets for staff, board members, and donors, where a stitched logo should last well beyond the event.
Ideal for full color designs, photo-based artwork, and individual names or years, with no extra setup when each shirt is different.
The most cost effective choice for large runs of one design, like race shirts, volunteer tees, or participant shirts for the whole event.

Answers to the questions event organizers, volunteer coordinators, and nonprofits ask most before ordering custom shirts.
Matching shirts in a bright, easy to spot color are the simplest way to make volunteers recognizable in a crowd, so attendees know who to ask for help. Many events give volunteers, staff, and participants different shirt colors with the same design. A comfortable cotton or blend t-shirt works for most events, with a long sleeve or hoodie option for cold mornings.
A custom shirt, hoodie, or embroidered cap with your organization’s logo is one of the most popular ways to thank volunteers, because it is useful and keeps them connected to the cause. Recognition is a big part of keeping volunteers engaged, and organizations like Points of Light highlight it as a way to thank people for their service. Many nonprofits order a yearly volunteer shirt with the year or campaign name, so returning volunteers build a collection. Hoodies and caps work well for long-time volunteers and board members.
Yes. T-shirt sales are one of the most common fundraisers for schools, teams, churches, and nonprofits. The simplest approach is to take pre-orders first, so you know the sizes and quantities before ordering and do not pay for shirts that will not sell. Standard turnaround is two weeks after proof approval and payment, so plan your sale deadline with that in mind.
T-shirts are the most popular fundraising item because they are affordable and almost everyone wears them. Hoodies and long sleeves sell well in colder months at a higher price, and embroidered caps work well for donors and supporters who want something to wear every day. Choosing one or two items in your cause’s colors, instead of a large catalog, keeps the order simple.
The price per shirt depends on the garment, the number of ink colors, print locations, and the decoration method. Setup is spread across the order, so the price per shirt drops as quantity goes up. Minimums are 12 pieces for screen printing, DTF, and embroidered caps, and 6 pieces for embroidered polos and jackets. Send us your quantities and we will quote the full cost.
Sew NC produces volunteer, event, and charity shirts from its shop at 121 Back Forty Drive in Winston-Salem, and works with nonprofits and event organizers across North Carolina, including Greensboro, High Point, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Durham. Every order is printed or embroidered in house, and the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits is a useful resource when planning events and fundraisers across the state. Incendiary Brewing’s 145 screen printed hoodies for a four-location Oktoberfest were delivered in just over a week.
We create custom apparel programs for businesses, organizations, and specialized crews of all sizes across North Carolina. Talk with our production team today.
