Need Cycling Clothes for Girls

[velogirl]

I am working on a project called the Wheels Can Take Me Places Project. I am training a class of twenty two 7th grade youth from a local charter school to participate in the 2009 Katy Trail Ride- 225 miles in one week. Fourteen of those 7th graders are girls. We presently have some used donated clothing for boys, but nothing for the girls. We are hoping that we can get some help from people wanting to support this project, and ask that if you have it, to donate some used clothing (or equipment) for the girls.

Please send clothing to:

Urban KC Community of Cycling
3008 Drury Ave.
Kansas City, MO 64128
(816) 326-7924

Thank you for your support.

Best Regards,

I have one jersey that might be a little big but fits like an adult small. No pockets, but it is moisture wicking. It is extremely lightly used, I will try to get to the post office this week.

I have a helmet in good condition (new one for christmas!) but could they use it? Would it even be worth it to ship it?

[Selkie]

Thanks. I have several jerseys that I can contribute, possibly some shorts.

I am getting a box together and maybe my DH can contribute some stuff too.

It'd be nice if we had sizes. Seventh grade girls can be full-grown.

Bringing this back up. I sent a good-sized box with clothing in it. I asked that somebody send me a receipt for tax purposes. I enclosed a list of the items and their approximate value. I never heard anything. Anybody else? I'd still like to get a receipt for the donation.

I got a nice thank you letter from the class -- very sweet and hand-written. I had asked about a tax receipt too, but no, did not get one. I'm just going to let it slide as I didn't send that much (three used jerseys), and I expect they didn't expect requests of that sort. Bummer for you, since you sent a lot.

Sounds like they do not have any kind of not-for-profit or other tax exempt status. While I'm sure they appreciate your generousity, they are not in a position to give a reciept that will carry any weight with the dreaded IRS.

[Biciclista]

i never heard back either. i hoped they would at least let me know they received the box.

Me too - my box was quite heavy so I sent it regular parcel post - no delivery confirmation available.
