Barely eight months after opening, the first Canadian location of Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More in Edmonton is bounding forward with a schedule brimming with community give back.
The summer will be especially busy as Big Frog Edmonton owners Shannon and Brian Marowitch keep business rolling at a fast clip while simultaneously supporting two local causes close to their hearts – animals and kids.
With a donation of 400 shirts for the Edmonton Humane Society’s Pets in the Park, Big Frog will make a splash at the 30th annual fundraiser’s fun run and day-long activities on June 26. Huge animal lovers, Shannon and Brian had so much fun hanging out with Buddy for his photo shoot, with lots of canine (and Big Frog/human) smiles.
On June 28, Shannon and Brian will support the Rainbow Society of Alberta’s 7 in 7 Ultra Endurance Charity Run with t-shirts and other gear. Granting wishes to sick children ages three to 18 since 1986, Shannon and Brian’s support of the Rainbow Society fits their focus on children’s causes but also on health and fitness, other priorities front and center in their lives.
Their Edmonton shop opened in August 2021 with a foundational, community give back mantra – they’ve supported Stollery Children’s Hospital fundraisers and currently have an initiative to help Ukraine humanitarian efforts, something near and dear to their hearts, since Shannon’s great grandparents immigrated to Canada from West Ukraine in 1900 and the family has a homestead in Vegreville, Alberta, a large Ukrainian community.
