$10 from every shirt sold goes to The Trevor Project.
Last year, when gay video game streamer Justin Moore was talking about his favorite gas station in one of his streams, little did he know that just a couple of months later, his joke would turn into official Kum & Go merchandise that supports the Trevor Project.
