Wow. It’s amazing to think another year wearing t-shirts for a living is about to pass. Our daily sponsors and monthly sponsors are great, but we wanted to give a special shout out today to our
2010 Proud Partners . Most of these companies have been with us for the entire year, and we can’t thank them enough for all their support.
Hundred10 : Without our Fresnoian web design/dev friends we wouldn’t have had such an awesome website this year. Big shout out to Layne, James, John and the rest of the H10 folks. Thanks for a great year and we wish you all the best.
Blacksocks.com : I couldn’t believe Evan and I were going to have a sock sponsor for the entire year. Sponsored socks?? Yep. Not to mention Blacksocks only used to make black socks, so we were in before they "sold out" (just kidding). Thank you Lori and the entire Blacksocks crew.
Underground Printing : Where would we be without t-shirts to wear? Rishi from UGP had no idea what he was getting himself into when he signed on to be our official t-shirt printer. We probably weren’t their most organized client this year, but thankfully UGP is back in 2011 and printing ALL our t-shirts! Thanks Rishi and everyone at UGP.
Promobrain : We wouldn’t have the coolest business cards ever (tiny t-shirts) if it weren’t for Mike Freestone. Along with our biz cards came stickers, post-its, water bottles and a ton of other IWYS branded stuff. Thanks again Mike and we can’t wait to eat Good Life Granola in 2011.
Jockey.com : Our underwear sponsor changed halfway through the year and we couldn’t have been luckier to have Jockey step in. Our underwear drawers have been full to the brim and so have the drawers of our IWYS community members. Thanks Shannon, Michelle and the entire Jockey team.
IdeaPaint : Being one of the greatest inventions of all time, it was easy to get creative and fun with IdeaPaint’s whiteboard paint. I even dedicated an entire wall in my house to it. Thanks for all the awesome giveaways and we hope to work with you guys in 2011.
Lucky Brand : And finally thank you to our jeans sponsor! It was a big joke in 2009 if I was going to try to wear jeans for a living in 2010 and thanks to Lucky Brand we did. Walking into a Lucky Brand store will forever have a special place in my heart.
One last thank you to
SoundVisionLibrary.com who sponsored my laptop in 2010. I definitely couldn’t do what I do without a functioning laptop, and thanks to SVL, I can keep up with the IWYS community wherever I am. Thanks Joven and the entire SVL crew!
Thank you, thank you, thank you and THANK YOU!

We’re dedicating today to our friends at Hundred10, but not to talk about them, to talk about the city they live in. Fresno, CA is home to Hundred10 and has a staggering food hardship rate of 25% (national average is 9.2%).
Walmart started a campaign for social change called
Fight Hunger Together and is donating $1.5 million to 6 communities around the US. The community that comes in first place will get $1 million and the other 5 will get $100,000 each. All you have to do to help Fresno today is
click the Facebook "Like" button next to their city name. They’re currently in 1st place and we want to keep them there!
Please help our friends and the city of Fresno today by
sharing a link on your Facebook wall or tweeting about them. Every single "Like" helps and it doesn’t cost you a single penny.
Thanks Hundred10 for creating a great website for us this year, it’s been a blast!
You’ve heard of marathons, ironman competitions, triathlons, but have you ever heard of the
Tough Mudder ? The Tough Mudder is a 7-12 mile obstacle course, designed by British Special Forces, that puts you through some of the most grueling activities known to man. I’d like to try to explain it, but
this Tough Mudder video would do a much better job!
Well we actually know someone who’s crazy enough to want to participate in a Tough Mudder. Chris Hoyt and his team (
Social Mudders ) are participating in the February 5, 2011 Tough Mudder in Austin, TX. Every team that competes has goals in mind, but the most important one is to support the Wounded Warrior Project.
Join us today as we support the
Social Mudders Facebook Group (join if you like), feel free to follow
Chris Hoyt on Twitter and watch more
Tough Mudder videos .
Try to give us a TRUTH & DARE, and
give other users HIGH FIVES.
Don't forget to tell your friends to give you a high five! You deserve it.
