An intriguing ad to say the least, found on craigslist--the new free venue for advertising local garage sale. Both Rosies shopped to support their cause. we believed it was an innovative fundraising effort worth a browse. We encourage you to read on to find out more about their cause.
YARD SALE THIS SATURDAY at 229B W. King St. (at the white siding apts across from Earthfare, downtown Boone) Items will include some furniture and clothing as well as various household items, pieces of art, and anything else we don't want. Sale is hosted by a group of 7 people traveling across the country in a biodiesel bus this summer. All proceeds from the sale of our belongings goes toward finishing the biodiesel conversion and getting us on the road so we can then fundraiser for The Garret Wonders Memorial Fund. We are The Little Wonders Project. We are selling everything we own to make this trip possible. Come check out the yard sale, get some great stuff for cheap and help out a good cause while you're at it. Thanks.
Rosie W. met an interesting group of young people in Boone last Saturday. I promised to post a link to their website to explain the charity they were supporting. I also bought an assortment of “stuff” at cool prices, most to share with a Rosebud who collects religious artifacts. The cool price was everything in my arms for $1.
Here is the information:
The Little-Wonders Project. This summer I have planned a nationwide bicycle ride to honor the lives of Garrett Wonders and Adam Little. The ride will start in Charleston, SC and end in San Francisco, CA. Garrett and Adam were teammates of mine that were both struck from behind by a motorist while on a solo bike ride. Garrett passed six years ago on March 10, 2004, and Adam just recently, March 17, 2010. Both Adam and Garrett were kind hearted caring guys. Their love lives on by the ones they encountered.
Shortly after Garrett’s death, friends and family created THE GARRETT WONDERS MEMORIAL FUND, a 501©3 non-profit organization. The memorial fund was created to honor the memory of Garrett Wonders by promoting the safety and enjoyment of the sport of cycling through academic scholarships and bicycling advocacy.
We have realized that we will not be able to do this on our own; this trip is going to take funding in order to be successful. We ask for your support in any way possible. Charitable donations will be greatly appreciated along with donations toward funding our journey to raise support and awareness for bike safety on the open roads. My goal is to raise at least $5,000 over the two and a half month journey, split between the the Garrett Wonders Memorial Fund and Adam’s family. Along the way we plan on having charity rides and bicycle safety awareness events nationwide. Thank you for your time and we hope you will join us in supporting bicycle safety.
Thank you,
Brandon McKeever and Team
