T-shirts to raise funds for Remington

COEUR d'ALENE — Lo-Go, a Coeur d'Alene screen printing shop, is offering "Praying for Pastor Tim" T-shirts and donating a portion of the profits to pastor Tim Remington and his family.

"My partner has actually known pastor Tim for years," said Billie Symons, a co-owner of Lo-Go. "This is our way to offer something for the community to give back."

Symons said Lo-Go began making the shirts on Monday, the day after Remington was shot several times outside The Altar Church.

"He has touched so many people, not just here in Coeur d'Alene, but in Spokane, all over California, people in Nevada," she said. "It's not just here, it's everywhere. It’s just a way to show your support, not just by money but by wearing the shirt to support pastor Tim."

The T-shirts are $15 and come in a variety of colors. For every sale, $8 will be donated to The Altar Church for Remington. Symons said her goal is to sell 5,000 shirts, which would help cover $40,000 of medical bills and expenses.

"I know it’s lofty, but that would be awesome," she said.

The shirts can be ordered by calling Lo-Go co-owner Jerry Harris at 704-2742 or emailing lo-go.jerry@live.com. Symons said the shirts can also be ordered through The Altar by calling 664-1453.
