The unique feature ensures that our charitable merchandise campaigns can further access to youth mental health support. This is just one of the tangible ways that Giant Tiger stores and customers are creating positive change in the communities we call home."

"We are grateful to Giant Tiger for their ongoing support raising awareness and funds for youth mental health. The exclusive pink shirt shines a light on the issue of bullying and offers a moment of education for young people and caring adults" says Jenny Yuen, Senior Vice President, National Partnerships, Kids Help Phone.
