Stafford, Va.—Supporting worthwhile causes suits Omri Glaser to a T.
The 17-year-old high school student has launched Om Tee, an organization that makes and sells T-shirts and donates all the profits to charity.
This is not Glaser’s first enterprise. He previously started a company that makes DVDs of students demonstrating their athletic skills. That firm, OG Video, also custom-makes DVDs featuring anything requested by his clients.
Glaser founded Om Tee in an effort to raise funds for Global Action for Children, an organization that helps orphans and other children who suffer the consequences of disease and war.
Om Tee’s products feature cartoon images of characters trying to deal with a sometimes bewildering and difficult world.
Glaser made 40 shirts in his initial batch, and they sold out quickly. For the second round, he made 400 of the T-shirts, which he sells through word-of-mouth and online at omtee.com.
For stepping up to help solve a problem, Glaser is this week’s winner of the TeenUp Award. Here is the YouTube video about his award:
