Throughout the year, Stahls’ awards eight Dream Shop Packages. Each quarter, two winners (one small business and one school) receive a heat printing package valued at more than $6000. This initiative is designed to help winners expand their decorating capabilities, grow their businesses, and inspire the next generation of apparel decorators, according to Stahls’.
Since its launch in 2020, the Stahl Family Scholarship has awarded more than $100,000 worth of equipment to 37 winners. Each Dream Shop Package includes a Hotronix Fusion IQ heat press and a 360 IQ hat press, along with platens, accessories, and training. Winners also receive virtual consultations, access to Fulfill Engine software, and a product credit for use at Stahls’ or Transfer Express.
“Stahls’ began over 90 years ago in a small garage in Detroit. Like so many aspiring decorators, my family had a dream: to build a successful apparel decoration business,” says Dan Stahl, president of the Stahl Family Scholarship. “Thanks to hard work, dedication, and the incredible support of our customers, that dream became a reality. Today, Stahls’ stands as a leader in the industry, and we’re proud to give back to the community that made it all possible.”
“By providing us with new materials, and freshening up our heat printing skills, the winnings from the scholarship played a huge role in allowing us to provide more vocational opportunities in heat printing to individuals in the disabled community,” says Jared Kendall from Hub City Ink in Lubbock, Texas and 2022 winner. “Not only has the Stahls’ team made a difference in our business, but they’ve helped us change the lives of people in our community.”
