Welcome + Recap of Angela Yee Day at Barclay’s Center 🎥

Hello LEVELUP in NYC Family,

Just when you thought Labor Day weekend was a whirlwind, Fashion Week has taken over in full force! Last week, we joined the Angela Yee Day festivities at Barclays Center with Angela Yee from Power 105.1. It was a fun-filled, free day packed with music, community activities, live performances, and games. Be sure to check out our 🎞️ Instagram Recap 🎞️ to relive the magic.

And don’t forget, this Thursday, September 12th, we’re partnering with Black Visionaries for their Founder’s Day Event—a fundraising mixer celebrating Black entrepreneurs and changemakers. It’s going to be an incredible evening, and we’d love to see you there! Grab your ticket and join us! Let’s LEVELUP in NYC Together,

-Ryan

Why We Love Losing Money

How does a company start from nothing, grow and thrive for 45 years, and sell items for less than they cost?

Only by building long term relationships. That means innovating, executing, and taking care of every customer like they are the most important person in the world.

But even more than that, it means caring. Caring about customers, caring about employees, caring about quality, and caring about doing the right thing.

Let Queensboro show you the secret of their 45-year success. Let them do what they love and put your logo on a custom-embroidered polo or hat for just $4.95, including logo setup and embroidery.

Welcome to your new partner for custom logo apparel & promotional products. Trust the Queen for just $4.95.
