In the wake of something as tragic as last week's Boston Marathon bombing, the last thing anyone wants to worry about is shopping. But especially for small and local retailers, the financial repercussions from this kind of tragedy can ripple for months out, affecting sales numbers and bottom lines.

All eyes are on Boston this morning. While we wait for the news to unfold, our hearts and prayers with the Boston people, one retailer is doing its part to help the victims from Monday's blast. Adidas yesterday unveiled a limited edition t-shirt in commemoration of the bombings with plans to donate 100% of the proceeds to The One Fund Boston Inc, established Wednesday to help victims, WWD is reporting. The t-shirt reads "Boston stands as one."
