PLEASE DO NOT BUY RUSH ARTS MERCHANDISE FROM TARGET

Our school does not get any money from any sales at Target.  THey say officially licensed but they keep all of the profit

ONLINE –

We also have 2 ONLINE, ON-DEMAND stores for gear, attire, and accessories :

We have 4 official “stores” on SQUAD LOCKER and you can view them by clicking on the banner to the left or the link below.   

 Squad Locker is an ON-DEMAND APPAREL AND SPIRIT WEAR PARTNERSHIP that provides a 10% donation to the Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush Athletic Program of any sales.  ALL KINDS OF gear are available.

The “Knights” catalog has general items with a traditional “Rush Arts Knights” logo gear and there are also separate stores for each sports season and all of our teams! 

NOTE: since they are on-demand, there is no minimum However, they are a little more pricey than when we sell bulk-purchased merchandise at school. Please also note that printed items are heat pressed, not screen printed and ITEMS that are embroidered are the best quality for the price!  Shop today by going to https://teamlocker.squadlocker.com/?_gl=1*1n1dtdc*_gcl_au*NjU2MzY2NTM0LjE3NTI3NjQ5ODA.#/organizations/the-arts-academy-at-benjamin-rush 

 

 RUSH ARTS ATHLETICS also partners with BSN sports.  BSN offers various Rush Arts Knights Logos on a TON of different name-brand apparel items.   They are also on-demand prices are higher than in the school store and processing times vary. 

Please note, Rush Arts does not directly get a donation for items purchased at BSN.  BSN does save a 10% donation into a purchase account however that we can use to purchase replacement sports equipment through their company.     

These specific 4 SQUAD LOCKER stores & this specific BSN store ARE THE ONLY OFFICIAL ONLINE STORES AFFILIATED WITH RUSH ARTS*.

There are 100’s of other online stores where you can buy high school merchandise..none of them donate to the schools.

PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE ITEMS FROM ANY OTHER ONLINE VENDOR

  • *note = Jostens is the official vendor for class rings.  When Juniors purchase their class rings, they will also be directed to an nline store that has additional Rush Arts merch.  The senior class gets a small % donated from sales for items purchased through Jostens when Juniors purchase their rings

 

BELOW ARE OUR LOCAL VENDORS WE USE FOR bulk order apparel & spirit items sold in the Home & School Store as well as sports equipment for our teams.

We use these two companies for apparel when an entire team wants the same item (such as sweatshirts) OR when we are selling Athletic merchandise in the school store (such as t-shirts, blankets and water bottles)

Great quality, prices, time, & customer service. Please support these 2 local businesses if purchasing bulk or team orders!

 

EMAIL Steve Melchiore at melks44@comcast.net. Tell him you got his name from Rush Arts and he’ll take care of you. VERY fair and honest. EASY to work with
