ABOUT US

GRIT is a family-run, online business with a focus in raising awareness and funds for individuals fighting cancer and their loved ones. Touching millions, the fight against cancer not only effects the diagnosed individuals, but also their family and friends. Our goal at GRIT is to offer some relief for these families and to contribute to the search for a cure so that no one and no family has to suffer the detrimental events caused by this terrible disease. 

 

To reach our goal, we contribute the majority of profits to cancer research and to help families affected with cancer, with the remainings reinvested into the company for better product design and customer accessibility. 

 

GRIT was inspired by Brian Tamulewicz. Brian, proud husband, father, son, brother, and friend to many, fought against illness after illness in the last twenty years of his life. He earned the nickname "40 Grit" because of his rough and tell-it-how-it-is attitude. The name "40 Grit" started as an ode to a very abrasive sandpaper, very fitting with Brian's hobby of carpentry, but quickly evolved as his loved ones watched his battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Grit took on a double meaning as Brian displayed very gritty characteristics throughout his fight. Brian passed away September 11, 2022 but his memory lives on.

 

Grit clothing offers fresh, fashion forward apparel in stark contrast to the current cancer awareness clothing options. Each purchase guarantees a good quality piece that can be worn for any occasion while doubling as a sizable donation to contribute to the fight against cancer.
