Our super-soft short-sleeve tees and light-weight long-sleeve tees are perfect for spring! All shirts come with our signature "About the Artist" hangtags and 10% of the profits are donated back to The Children's Inn at NIH. Read our story. . .
The photo shoot was a success!! The boys did a great job of putting up with 5 hours in the 90 degree Florida heat and we managed to get at least one great shot of every Colin Maguire tee shirt. Thanks to Cassandra Mallien Wright for the wonderful photos!
The Goallll! tees are officially ready to ship and the helicopter shirts are on the way in the next few days. We're still expecting to ship the train tee shirts by 9/8.

Our visit to Bethesda and the Children's Inn this weekend blew us away! As you approach the lodge-like Inn a sense of relaxation and calm takes over. Inside, the bright open space pulls you in and you immediately feel at home. There are rooms filled with activities throughout the Inn to occupy kids of all ages. Words just can't describe this incredible place! Although the kids (and their families) are dealing with serious illnesses and undergoing cutting-edge medical procedures, The Children's Inn is a comforting and fun refuge after a long day at the National Institutes of Health. We're so honored to have the opportunity to work with these amazing kids on the development of our tee shirts! Hopefully, we will expand quickly and be able to contribute significantly to this "place like home".
Sara's eagle has now been added to the olive/indigo tee shirt! This style will be available for the smaller tots (24m, 2T and 3T) and a slightly modified version is underway for the bigger kids.
The Funky Stork and momsinthecity.blogspot.com recently gave Colin Maguire their thumbs up! We're keeping our fingers crossed for more press after the site goes live in a few weeks. . .
Now that the site is weeks away from being functional we thought it would be a good idea to give a recap of the "story" behind Colin Maguire.
The designs found on Colin Maguire tees were created by kids residing at The Children’s Inn at NIH. The National Institutes of Health provides the latest treatment options for seriously ill children. The Inn at NIH offers a place like home for these brave children and their families. Colin Maguire’s partnership with The Inn at NIH supports the Inn financially, but it also helps to share the spirit of these special children and their loved ones with children across the country.
The shirts are 100% super-soft cotton with contrast stitching and distressed hemlines. They are currently available in sizes 18-24 mos, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T. Long-sleeve “layered” tees are available for fall and many short-sleeve styles are on the way. New artwork is submitted regularly allowing for the launch of a new tee shirt every month! All come with unique “About the Artist” hangtags.
Sara came to the NIH from Iraq to receive specialized care. She chose to draw this eagle because it reminds her of America, where she now resides. Her goals are to attend college and become a professional artist. We think she certainly has the talent to do just that!
