The one of a kind tie-die tshirts were hand-dyed by a couple of awesome PTK volunteers and are available in a nice range of sizes.

There are terrific baseball caps and some wild color-changing cups. Chilly lately? Pick up a nice Blackhawks zipper sweatshirt!

HOPE to see you all at St. Michael's Basketball Game Honoring Michaelann Perea

The St. Michael's High School Basketball Team is playing on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 and this game will honor Michaelann Perea. Michaelann's sons Caleb and Jayden play on the team and her husband Israel is the JV Coach. Coincidentally, it’s two days after her birthday. As you know, Michaelann was a huge part of the Carlos Gilbert community and the folks at St. Michael's would like to give everyone the opportunity to come out and support her loving family.
