My name is Nick Lynch, and I am a cancer survivor. When I was 3 years old I was diagnosed with a stage 3 Wilms Tumor in my kidney. While in the hospital, the only thing that would make me happy was dinosaurs; Dinosaur toys, shirts, movies, candy, really anything with a dinosaur. When I went into surgery, my mom handed out red dinosaur stickers for everyone to wear as a sign of support. She had everyone in the hospital wearing one. It is that symbol of solidarity and support that has inspired me to create The Dino Club. I have always wanted to give back to people going through cancer, especially kids, and now it is finally my chance.
About The Dino Club
We will be following the Toms model of giving back – for every t-shirt sold, we will give a t-shirt to a child fighting cancer. The t-shirts that we will be giving back are specially designed to allow them to be worn comfortably while connected to IV’s, during blood tests & chemotherapy sessions, and all of the other unpleasant parts of being sick. Let’s replace those cold hospital gowns with something that unites all of us – Dinos! We will also be supporting and proving funds to the Child Life departments at children’s hospitals. These are vital departments that help provide fun activities for the children while they are in the hospital. Lastly, we will also be 100% transparent. On our blog, we will tell you how many t-shirts we sold, how many t-shirts we donated, how much money we donated and where, and consistently include our customers in the giving decisions. You can learn more about us at thedinoclub.com.
The Designs
We have several different kinds and colors of dinosaurs:
Blue Brontosaurus
Red Triceratops
Purple Stegosaurus
Green T-Rex
Orange Pterodactyl
We have created patches of all of these dinosaurs and sewn them on amazing clothing. You will find t-shirts (V-neck, crew neck, & long sleeve), hoodies, and women’s tanks. We want these t-shirts to be the coolest, most comfortable t-shirts you own!
We also have amazing hats, stickers and bracelets to spread the dino message even easier.
If you are a doctor or nurse, we will mail you a patch for free for your scrubs! Just email us at info@thedinoclub.com to let us know which hospital, which department you work in, and an address to mail the patch to. Please share our campaign with friends and family to help us reach our goal.
