Patagonia is going to give $5,000 in grant money to three DC area charities. One of them is Phoenix Bikes. You have to vote at the store starting Saturday and lasting all of next week now through Oct 24th.
Stop by our store to cast your ballot.
The top vote-getter will be awarded $2500, with the second- and third- place organizations receiving $1500 and $1000 respectively.
We’ll be holding a Grant Reception to award the money. Come meet the groups and learn how you too can help support environmental work in your own backyard. Check with us for tabling times and details on our Grant Reception.
Phoenix Bikes
http://phoenixbikes.org/
Phoenix Bikes is a Non-Profit youth Program whose mission is to develop youth leaders and social entrepreneurs through hands-on learning experiences and service to the greater DC cycling community.
In our store: October 10 and 16
[While I think Phoenix Bikes is great, I am a little disappointed they couldn't find one charity that was actually in DC]. The store is at 1048 Wisconsin Ave, NW.
Thanks for the plug. I have one correction though: the voting actually goes through October 24, not just through the end of next week.
