IRT lends a hand with The Annenberg Foundations' Pitch Africa


IRT plays a role in The Annenberg Foundation's Pitch Africa Program by printing cinch packs, water bottles and long & short sleeve tees to help build awareness about the Annenberg's rainwater harvesting program.

David of The Annenberg Foundation writes:

"Thank you All!

The event was a big hit and your team pulled another minor miracle for us!"

IRT was glad to deliver great tees in a quick turnaround to support the launch of the program. Congratulations to the Annenberg Foundation for a successful campaign launch! PITCH:AFRICA is centered around a street soccer venue approximately 64' x 80' and seats up to 1,000 people. The structure captures rainwater as it falls onto the playing field and surrounding seating areas. The water is stored beneath the soccer surface in cisterns. The water then undergoes a filtration process before it is distributed and used for drinking, cooking, washing and farming. PITCH:AFRICA also creates community space underneath the seating area which can be used to house a school, a health clinic, meeting rooms and even a local market.
