Legal Disclaimer
Blackbaud in no way supports the idea that a t-shirt cannon should, or could, be fabricated from an empty water bottle and a Pringles can.
We hope you don’t believe this clearly fake hack.
This was Jarod’s attempt at cheap humor and an opportunity to fulfill his childhood dream of firing a t-shirt cannon in public.
Please do not attempt this fake hack at home.
We recommend you procure your t-shirt cannons from reputable vendors & operate them under direct parental supervision.

Audio Files
• Names can be hard to pronounce…
• Store audio files on constituent records to help
• This is a nice, entry level approach, but it’s exciting to see how some organizations with technical staff and investment have taken this solution a step further.

Dear Organization,
I recently attended your Gala and I’m sorry to say that I’m very disappointed with some of the decisions you made organizing the event.
Serving McDonald’s hamburgers was a questionable decision to start with, but even more concerning to me was the fact that the beer & wine were not free. I’m very upset!
Sincerely,Disgruntled donor
