T-Shirts Being Sold To Honor Patric Vitek, Raise Money For His Family

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Minnesota-based company is selling T-shirts in honor of a 13-year-old from Eagan who unexpectedly passed away earlier this month.

Patric Vitek was struck and killed by a car while riding his bike to school on Nov. 1. The seventh-grader at Dakota Hills Middle School played hockey for the Eagan Hockey Association.

On Friday, the athletic clothing company UNRL released a new Patric Vitek tribute shirt. The T-shirts, which cost $25, will benefit the Vitek family.

"This is what makes us the State of Hockey, it's bigger than just the game, we're a family," the company said on their website.

UNRL says 100% of the proceeds from the tribute shirts will be donated to the family. So far, UNRL has raised over $11,000.

The tribute T-shirts will be available through Sunday.
