T-shirts with a Mission: On the spot with Scott Ellis, ’04

In the last couple of years, Blue Button has become Whitworth’s go-to place for students’ dorm and event T-shirts. And Whitworth is just one of a growing number of customers looking for soft, organic, eco-friendly screen-printed shirts, which is what Blue Button is committed to providing.

From the outside, it’s a sweet little non-profit. But when we visited Scott Ellis, ’04, the director, and met a couple of the high-school students Blue Button employs, we got to see its core mission in action. Take a minute to see a great thing that’s happening right here in Spokane’s Hillyard neighborhood.
