Christina & Katharine Vann are sisters, just having finished 8th & 7th grade at East Rockford Middle School in Rockford, Michigan. As summers go, the two girls got bored and wanted to do something exciting. Inspired by a nephews superhero themed birthday party photo they saw on Facebook and the memories of their older cousins survival games, they started planning their own Survival Games.
They planned a variety of events, including soccer, basketball, volleyball, water balloon races, water balloon fights, challenge races, scavenger hunt and more. They invited friends from their new school, old school and clubs. Everyone enjoyed a long day of vigorous competition, food & prizes.
To commemorate the event, Katharine designed a superhero themed logo and they ordered an assortment of custom t-shirts from TerrificT in team colors. Each team created their own team poster for their first event before moving on to sports & races. Each event awarded points to the event winning team with the highest accumulated score being the days winner.

Celebrate Life & Friends! Get Active and of course Wear T-Shirts!
I don't know what you think, but this is hilarious. Think about wearing 150 or even 250 T-Shirts all at one time. I have to think this feat would be suffocating. It's definitely not for the claustrophobic. Here is a list of record holders as best we could compile at the moment. We were quite surprised at how many times this record has been broken in recent years. Note: Some of the dates don't make sense, so we listed in order of number of shirts worn.
Newest Guinness World Record Holder - December 2011 - 257 T-Shirts
The most T-shirts worn at once is 257 and was achieved by Sanath Bandara (Sri Lanka) in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on December 22nd, 2011. The record was attempted on stage in front of a crowd of people in a public park in Colombo. Sanath was victim of the 2008 Weliveriya bombing in Sri Lanka and has attempted to break Guinness World Record ever since. It took him 1 hour, 7 minutes and 3 seconds to get to 257. Source

On November 11, 2011, Tom Rauen of Dubuque, Iowa USA at the Diamond Jo Casino, broke the World Record by wearing 247 T-Shirts at one-time. Tom Rauen trained for months to prepare for what he expected might take 2.5 hours or more. Although time has nothing to do with this record, Rauen’s team helped him put on shirt #247 after just an hour and forty-five minutes. The last shirt was a Size 20X, and was large enough to cover a queen- sized mattress. Three past world record holders in this category have been from the USA. Source
