That's what we do now.  The issue is that we can't do that on, say,
CafePress, which is a direct commercial sale.  That doesn't mean that we
can't have t-shirts on CafePress ... they just need to be a different
design.

Ideally, we'd mail out t-shirts to donors personally as donation
premiums, and raise a lot of money that way.  However, I don't know that
anyone in our community currrently has the manpower to do this.
