Doing Good While Making a Living – Room 108 Del Reid, Founder, 26 Shirts and Bills Mafia Moderated by Aisha O'Mally, Clinical Assistant Professor of Organization and Human Resources, UB School of Management Learn how entrepreneurs can align their business goals with their values and have a positive impact on society. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for identifying and pursuing purpose-driven work, as well as insights into the growing movement of social impact careers.

Reid became a Bills fan shortly after coming into this world, having been raised in a home that had a framed picture of OJ Simpson on the wall in the living room (until it came down in 1994). Reid has always had a passion for bringing people together to celebrate things they share. As a result, he (quite accidentally) ended up co-founding the #BillsMafia movement among Bills fans in social media — which to this point is the coolest thing that has ever happened to him aside from his relationship with God, his wife and his two awesome kids. He is the founder of 26 Shirts, a website that sells limited edition tees to benefit local charities and families in need. To date, 26shirts.com has managed to raise and donate more than $1.7 million thanks to everyone who has believed in its mission and loved its products. d.
