The Newbury Comics/High&Mighty Cyclocross Team Clothes Drive Competition!
We are neighbors with a very cool charity called Cradles2Crayons who work to provide kids with clothes and school supplies. They are in their "Gear up For Winter" campaign. They expect to get 15,000 requests for coats and warm clothes this year.
The CX season is over and we are starting to miss seeing the NECX every weekend. So, we thought it would be nice to try and help out a good cause and continue the spirit of competition beyond the season.
From now until Friday February 3rd, we challenge you and your team to see can generate the most donations for Cradles2Crayons! Below are things they are in need of
*new or gently-used( this means cleaned and no rips, tears, patches,spikes, or studs)*
*coats
*clothing
*boots
*hats
*glove
