Unite Against Bullying with Time for Three

Time for Three – violinist Zachary (Zach) De Pue, violinist Nicolas (Nick) Kendall anddouble-bassist Ranaan Meyer – is a group that defies any traditional genre classification, happily and infectiously. With an uncommon mix of virtuosity and showmanship, the American trio performs music from Bach to Brahms and beyond, giving world-premieres by Pulitzer Prize-winners William Bolcom and Jennifer Higdon as well as playing originals and their own arrangements of everything from bluegrass and folk tunes to ingenious mash-ups of hits by the Beatles,  Kanye West, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and more. Time for Three, or Tf3 for short, has performed from Carnegie Hall and the famed jazz club Yoshi’s in San Francisco to European festivals, NFL games and the Indy 500. The group’s hit YouTube bullying-prevention video, “Stronger,” has inspired students across the globe, eliciting features on CNN and the Huffington Post. Since 2009, Tf3 has held a hugely successful residency with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, helping to expand the orchestra’s audience with innovative outreach. The next milestone for Tf3 is the June 24, 2014, release of their debut on UMC, Time for Three. The new album, with tracks co-produced by Bon Iver’s Rob Moose, showcases not only the trio’s melody-rich string weave but also its uncommon flair for collaboration, with the group teaming with pop singer-songwriter Joshua Radin, jazz saxophone icon Branford Marsalis, Decca cello star Alisa Weilerstein and ukulele ace Jake Shimabukuro, among others.  

About the Be Good to Each Other campaign
At CustomInk, we believe in the Golden Rule and treating others with kindness and respect.  We’ve created the Be Good to Each Other campaign to help increase awareness and ultimately prevent bullying by uniting groups with custom t-shirts. 

This is the fourth year of the CustomInk Be Good to Each Other campaign.  Over the years, with the help of our celebrity partners, the media and you, CustomInk has raised nearly $60,000 for bullying prevention efforts. The power of t-shirts goes beyond the funds raised - thousands of people continue to wear the shirts they've purchased and support bullying prevention.
