Highlights from 2025: A Jam-Packed Year at College Hype

As we wrap up 2025, one thing is clear — it’s been another jam-packed year at College Hype. From community involvement and meaningful partnerships to memorable events and the work we’re proud to produce every day, this year truly had it all.

Community First

Giving back remained a major focus throughout 2025. We kicked off the year with the BFit Challenge, where we teamed up with the Martin Richard Foundation to support a cause close to home.

Another standout moment was celebrating our 35th year of selling in Southie, Dorchester & Charlestown, continuing a long-standing tradition of selling apparel on the streets and connecting directly with the neighborhoods that have supported us for decades.

Following that, our team had the unique opportunity to tour the iconic Dorchester Gas Tank and present a $5,000 check in collaboration with National Grid to the Martin Richard Foundation in support of the Dorchester Field House — a powerful reminder of the impact that community-driven efforts can have.

With your help we were able to raise an incredible $25,000 for the Matt Brown Foundation this year! Proving once again what’s possible when people come together for a great cause. Special shout out to Paul Wahlberg, Bill Richard, Carroll Advertising & Kaloutas Painting for their generous support as well.

Events & Experiences

2025 delivered no shortage of meaningful experiences. At the Mass Buys Expo, we connected with industry peers and partners and even had the chance to head up to the lighthouse at Gillette Stadium, offering a perspective we won’t soon forget.

Throughout the year, we also made it a priority to attend and support customer-hosted charity events, showing up for the causes that matter most to the organizations we work with and strengthening the relationships that make our community so special.

Serving Incredible Clients

At our core, we spent the year doing what we do best — creating custom apparel and branded merchandise for our amazing clients. Every project reinforced the trust placed in us and pushed our team to deliver top-quality work.

Life at College Hype

Beyond the production floor, the year was filled with:

• Team outings

• Volunteer efforts

• Office antics

• Plenty of laughs

These moments define our culture and make the busy days worthwhile.

Looking Ahead

2025 was a year shaped by connection, creativity, and community. We’re grateful to everyone who was part of it and excited to carry this momentum into 2026.
