So… What’s This About a Tattoo?

Chad Schreier threw out a challenge:

If the campus retail community can come together and raise $50,000, he’ll make his support permanent with a tattoo of the NACS Foundation Flame Pin.


This campaign is about more than a tattoo. It’s about showing what’s possible when our industry rallies together.
