About Special Tees

Who we are:

Special Tees is a not for profit business located in Staten Island, New York. More than clever wordplay, the name Special Tees reflects a workforce made up almost exclusively of people with mental health problems. You see Special Tees was originally designed as a work program for the mentally impaired. With a grant from the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, they wanted to start a business that would put patients to work, and so Special Tees was born. But over the next 12 years, Special Tees turned into a successful business operation.

As the operation became stable, Special Tees built a regular client base that now consists of several Little Leagues, basketball camps, firehouses and corporate giants like JP Morgan Chase and Bear Stearns. They also provide shirts to NBC's "Saturday Night Live" for the crew and for promotional giveaways.

Special Tees has grown so much it's relocated twice to gain more space. It now operates a sales office on Buel Avenue where orders are taken and designs are created. Production takes place within the facility of Community Resources, a larger nonprofit serving people with developmental disabilities. Special Tees is a division of Community Resources.
