AvAir Partners with State Forty Eight to Support State Forty Eight Foundation

CHANDLER, Ariz. — AvAir has partnered with State Forty Eight to create custom shirts with one dollar from every collaboration t-shirt donated back to support the State Forty Eight Foundation. Similar to a mural in AvAir’s headquarters, the shirt design represents Arizona’s beautiful sky and serves as a reminder to always reach higher.

The foundation’s mission is to enrich and strengthen Arizona through thoughtful partnerships, inspired community action and investment in the changemakers of tomorrow. They fulfill their mission through their four pillars: creating meaningful partnerships, activating our community, supporting and empowering our youth and fostering the entrepreneurial spirit.

“We’re thrilled to select State Forty Eight for this collaboration as they’ve made a name for themselves as not only talented designers, but a group dedicated to improving our community,” said AvAir Director of Business Development, Zach Hall. “Giving back is extremely important to AvAir, so it made sense to work with a business who has the same values.”

“At State Forty Eight we are all about collaboration and community and through this partnership with AvAir, we’ve been able to achieve both,” said State Forty Eight Founder and CEO, Michael Spangenberg. “Zach has been a longtime supporter of our company and is an asset to our State Forty Eight Foundation board of directors. We’re thrilled AvAir chose us as their T-shirt partner and are really happy with the unique design we co-created with them.”
