Carrie Harrington, Donor Relations Director of the Boys and Girls Club since February 2016 apologized to DieHard Piercing and Tattoo this morning for "...multiple miscommunications" concerning the denial of DieHard's $800 sponsorship for a field.
At first, when the Boys and Girls Club reported back to DieHard concerning the sponsorship after they had said they had accepted it, they came across quite sour. "The head directors had a meeting and basically said it was inappropriate for a tattoo shop to support the Boys and Girls Club," said Jeremy McClain.
"We never intended to deny the sponsorship, we are always excited to partner with new businesses" said Harrington.
"We don't own the fields that are played on, we're in charge of maintenance. It's not up to us what is posted there, we were waiting to hear back." said Harrington.
Harrington also mentioned that Jeremy McLain has been invited to speak at Leadership and T3 classes through Boys and Girls Club, so kids can hear from a self made businessman.
"It was miscommunication between three or four individuals on their end...it ended up good, I'm glad it's over. I was tired of checking my phone to see 57 notifications on it." said Jeremy McLain, owner of DieHard. "All I want is to help the community, it's awesome to help the Boys and Girls Club."
