Kris Allen fans can purchase T-shirts celebrating his victory as the 2009 “American Idol” champion and supporting a scholarship in his honor.
The victory shirt is light blue with image of Allen singing and bears his signature and “Thanks for your support.” Also for sale are the original “Conway Backs Kris Allen” T-shirts that were popular during the competition. They are available in pink, green and gray. Youth and adult sizes are available in the victory shirts, but only adult sizes are available in the original shirts. The cost is $15 per shirt.
A scholarship for performing arts is being established at the University of Central Arkansas for performing arts. The task force is working with the UCA Foundation to set up the scholarship. From each $15 purchase, a portion goes to the scholarship fund.
“If it really kicks off, it will be more,” he said. “I thought about hats … There may be other items we can order to help with the scholarship.”
He noted donors do not have to purchase a shirt to donate to the scholarship fund.
“We’re still kicking around ideas on the actual name (of the scholarship), but we’re accepting donations right away,” he said [Glenn Crockett, member of the Kris Allen task force].
