** Rick Osborn local Kent teacher and RTB member is helping us at RTB sponsor a shoe drive!
The Kent area has a growing Refugee population and they need our old running shoes. These kids often come to our schools in shoes that don’t fit, are worn out, or in flip flops. If you are like me and only run 300 to 500 miles in a pair of running shoes you probably have a pile of shoes in your closet or garage. I try to wear them casually or when I mow the lawn, but I can’t get rid of my old running shoes fast enough. Raise the Bar has the perfect solution, donate them to the Kent Refugee Center. If you wish to donate your shoes bring them to the December 15th Specialized Bike meeting at Center Cycle (Team Member only meeting), Swim Workouts on Dec. 14 or 15 or drop off at Kathy Morrisson’s by Dec. 15 at 5 PM. They should be washed and wearable (don’t bring the ones you mow the lawn in). We would also accept younger children’s tennis shoes as well.
