In order to fund the DNA and Tissue Repository at Michigan State University, Berner-Garde needs to raise money through donations and by the sale of Berner items. Here are some of the items they have available: Hooded sweatshirts in black or pink with embroidered script “Berner-Garde” ($45,) Long sleeve jersey T-shirts in blue or brown with embroidered Berner-Garde logo ($32,) short sleeve red or beige T-shirts with embroidered Berner-Garde logo ($24,) Long sleeve sweatshirt in mustard yellow with embroidered script “Berner-Garde” ($40,) “For the Love of a Berner” pins ($5,) and “For the Love of a Berner” bracelets ($3 each or 2 for $5.)
