Patriot Guard Riders Names Illinois Company as Official Supplier for Online Store

Addison, IL, November 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Patriot Guard Riders, a national non-profit group whose members share an interest in showing respect for America’s fallen heroes by attending deployment, welcome-home and funeral services for military personnel, announced this week it has selected Fast Color as the single source to complete product-fulfillment services for its popular online store. Patriot Guard Riders has more than 175,000 members, and sells thousands of branded apparel and accessory items each month. It uses proceeds to fund public-awareness campaigns, memorial motorcycle rides, the Fallen Warriors and Wounded Warrior scholarships and its Help on the Homefront program.

“We are excited to make this connection with Fast Color,” Patriot Guard Riders board president Bill Richart said, “because this is a company that can help us expand the growth, support and operation of the Patriot Guard Riders' mission.”

Fast Color’s General Manager, Joe Muschong, whose son and daughter-in-law currently serve in the U.S. Air Force, said helping Patriot Guard Riders make its online store successful is an important mission for his entire company.

“Our goal is to transform the online store into a complete catalog of Patriot Guard Riders gear, and in the process deliver on our promises of quality and total satisfaction,” Muschong said. “It's the best way we can show this organization how much we believe in their mission.”

Because Fast Color's services include digital and offset printing, large-format printing, silk screening, embroidery and promotional items, it plans to distribute an e-catalog to Patriot Guard Riders members, who then can make suggestions for additions or changes to the current inventory. The new online store also will feature branded holiday items and monthly specials, Muschong said.

Fast Color also will donate 5 percent of the total sale of any product or service to Patriot Guard Riders when customers mention the organization's name.

The new Patriot Guard Riders online store can be accessed at www.patriotguard.org. For more information about Fast Color, visit www.fastcolorprint.com, or contact Joe Muschong toll free at (877) 359-2811.
