Online, April 11, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Whitney Holzer, co-owner of Palmetto Moon, announced today that the South Carolina apparel and specialty gift store is the exclusive retailer of the 25th Anniversary Mount Pleasant Blessing of the Fleet and Seafood Festival t-shirt. This commemorative event t-shirt, available for the first time at a retail location and specially designed by marine artist Guy Harvey, is at all of Palmetto Moon's seven locations throughout South Carolina. In addition, Palmetto Moon will donate a portion of these shirt sales to the Shem Creek Shrimpers and the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) through the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation.

"The Blessing of the Fleet and Seafood Festival is such an iconic event for Mt. Pleasant, and we are so honored to help celebrate its 25th anniversary," said Holzer. "We love working with Guy Harvey and are excited to give all of Charleston the chance to get this exclusive design that helps us give back to these wonderful organizations."

Charleston residents can visit any of Palmetto Moon's four Charleston-area stores to purchase the exclusive Guy Harvey shirt, with a portion of Palmetto Moon's sales now until May 31 benefiting the Shem Creek Shrimpers and The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation. The Ocean Foundation supports scientific research and educational programs in marine conservation worldwide, including the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) of South Carolina and its Topwater Action program, which supports oyster bed restoration work.
