O'Keefe Tees was created as a fundraising effort for the O'Keefe family. A dear friend of ours, Brandin O'Keefe, has been courageously fighting a battle against cancer. To help this wonderful family, O'Keefe Tees was formed to give everyone the opportunity to purchase a t-shirt in support of Brandin O'Keefe and his family.
100% of all proceeds from t-shirt sales have gone directly to the O'Keefe
family. We are very excited to announce that all t-shirts have been donated by Odd-It-Tees in Forked River, NJ. Thank you for being here and for purchasing an O'Keefe Tee. About Brandin
Brandin refuses to characterize himself as a hero. In a day and age where we are regularly confronted with the fallible integrity of so many, Brandin has always stood a cut above. His life has been guided by the simple purpose, of doing right by the ones he loves. A devoted son and father. A committed husband. A loyal brother and friend. To know Brandin, is to know that he possesses a genuine and unfiltered spirit, immune from the influence of others. His heart is large – a child’s in a man’s body. Through his actions, he has time and again shown us all what it truly means to live, to be. The lessons he has taught us, about ourselves, about what is important, are innumerable. We look to him when we need strength. We turn to him when need courage. We are better, because we know him. Brandin’s character and determination remain defyingly strong. Just as he was able to complete seven months of grueling fire department training - on one leg, while receiving treatment for cancer, and with a yet-to-be discovered brain tumor, he continues to fight without pause or complaint. He fights for Karen, for Abigail, for Evan, for Patrick, for Danny, and for his mom. He fights in memory of his father and in honor of his uncle. He fights because he knows no other way. We cannot fully bear this load for Brandin or his family, nor would he ask us to. But we can stand and fight with him. Please join his family, friends, and loyal brothers of the Bridgeton and Columbus Fire Departments, as we too show our unwavering love, support, and solidarity. We love you, B.
