Great Closet Clean-Out to support Bay athletics

The Bay Rockets Association is again conducting its clothing collection drive, The Great Clean-Out, April 29 (3-7 p.m.), April 30 (3-7 p.m.), and May 1 (3-7 p.m). All funds raised will benefit both Bay Rockets Athletics and Easter Seals Northern Ohio. Bay Rocket Athletics relies on fundraising to ensure that Bay Village Schools can maintain athletic teams from 7th to 12th grades. Easter Seals Northern Ohio uses these funds to support over 15,000 people with disabilities. The clothing drive is an innovative way for these organizations to raise funds without having to sell anything.

Bay Rockets Association will be compensated based on the numbers of pounds of clothing collected. Acceptable items include clothing, comforters, towels, shoes or purses. Items can be in any condition. Mattresses will NOT be accepted. All donations will be reused, resold or recycled.

Donations can be dropped off at Bay Middle School, 27725 Wolf Road, or Bay High School, 29230 Wolf Road. There will be volunteers available during the drop-off times to unload items from cars. Every bag donated earns a raffle ticket. Prizes include $50 cash or gift cards to local establishments. Tax receipts will be available. Clean out your closets and support these organizations!
