Champions of Change
During Hurricane Sandy, Drew Chabot and his parents were displaced due to their houses being flooded. With his friend Scott Zabelski, the owner of a screen printing business called Blue Wave Printing, Drew went to work printing and selling “Restore the Shore” sweatshirts and t-shirts. $10 from every sweatshirt and $5 from every t-shirt went back to the affected people in the community. To date, they have raised and distributed over $500,000 to disaster relief nonprofits in their community. Through his job is with Home Depot, Drew worked to provide donated supplies and labor to help get people back into their homes.
