The duo raised $1,052,040 and donated all of the money from the Supreme X Takashi Murakami shirts to the New York-based non-profit organization Help USA, according to Complex.
“HELP USA is deeply grateful to @supremenewyork for donating $1,052,040 in sales of their relief T-shirt to HELP USA’s #COVID-19 Emergency efforts and services for homeless families and individuals,” the organization said in its Instagram post. “This incredible gift comes in a time of our clients’ greatest need and supports our work nationally to provide the most vulnerable with a safe place to call home, food, and essential services during this crisis and beyond.”
The shirt, which retailed at $60, was first released on April 24 and announced that all the proceeds would be donated directly to help the organization support those affected by the pandemic, High Snobiety reported.
The shirt appeared in several resale sites, including StockX and Grailed, which both clarified that donations from all the sales would go to the COVID-19 relief.
