People can show their love for the late legendary drama teacher, theater director, mentor and friend Ronald E. Bright by wearing an exclusive #IMABRIGHTKID T-shirt.

The 81-year-old Bright, a Hilo native who taught for 50 years and founded the Castle Performing Arts Center at James B. Castle High School in Kaneohe, died last week at Castle Medical Center on Oahu.

Bright impacted countless lives throughout his career. A former student started a T-shirt campaign on Teespring in celebration of his life. The shirts are available for $20 with a $3.99 shipping fee. Profits go to support the Ronald E. Bright Scholarship Fund for graduating high school students.

To order a shirt, visit teespring.com and search for imabrightkid.

The T-shirt campaign for Bright ends Aug. 2.
