On February 19, 2023 Lifted Logo Brand had the privilege of sponsoring Turtle Bowl 2023, a locally sponsored bowling charity event for Team Ian Charities. Team Ian Charities Inc.’s mission is to “enhance the lives of special needs individuals and their families by providing support through service, assistance, education and shared experience.” The non-profit organization was founded in honor of Ian Paul Eckert, a 14yr old boy with special needs who passed away in Sept. 2022. His race on earth, although it was short, was that of a strong little boy with incredible perseverance who had an amazing family to guide and bring him comfort every step of the way. His story inspired his family and friends to start a nonprofit organization, in his memory, to help other special needs kids and their families run their race. 

We had the incredible honor of sponsoring this event. Lifted Logos made a cash donation to fund T-Shirts for those attending this fundraiser. We also donated some custom branded hats as prizes for winning bowlers. Lastly, we commissioned an artist who designed and painted a custom pair of Jordan 1 sneakers for the Eckert family as a commemoration for the beginning of Team Ian Charities Inc. 

Turtle Bowl 2023 had an incredible turnout bringing friends, family, and community members together in support of this amazing family, and their charity supporting other kids with special needs and their families. Events like this bringing people together in support of a good cause are what makes a community.

We thank the Eckert family for allowing us to be part of this event. We’re rooting for your charity and can’t wait to see how you make an impact! Go Team Ian!
