Clothes for the Cause Partners with Local Schools and Organizations

“Battle of the Bags” Contest this Fall Where one group will receive an extra $250 in funding
 
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. - Aug. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Back to School and fall is a busy time for the planners and drivers at Clothes for the Cause. This year will be even busier with their “Battle of the Bags” contest!  Clothes for the Cause is giving away a bonus $250 for the group that holds a clothing and shoe drive and brings in the most weight in September or October. It is a friendly competition to encourage even more closet clean outs!.

“If you know of any organization looking to raise money for their cause, and who would love to participate in the Battle of the Bags, please direct them to us! “added Regional Manager, Susan Hopkey.  We have cheer teams raising money for new uniforms, high school bands fundraising for camps, and sports teams hoping to raise money for updated equipment! ”

Clothes for the Cause is a fundraising company that collects clothes in exchange for cash in order to help local groups and organizations raise money for their cause. The company provides the group with marketing materials, social media connections, and hands-on support so that they can hold a textile drive for their group.  In addition to garments, Clothes for the Cause accepts pairs of shoes, hats, gloves, towels, sheets, blankets, quilts, drapery, purses, belts, rugs and stuffed animals.

Following the collection, Clothes for the Cause will pick up the donations and then pay the group with the total of their fundraising effort, measured in dollars per pound.

Since January 1st  2015, Clothes for the Cause has worked with over 75 groups and organizations in the SoCal region of Los Angeles, Inland Empire and Orange County and has helped raise over $200,000 for these groups!  Company- wide, including their locations in the Pacific Northwest, they have given over $788,000 back to local organizations and groups.

“Clothes for the Cause makes it easy for everyone in our community to contribute by collecting things, free of charge, that our friends, family and neighbors already have in their houses,” said Regional Manager, Susan Hopkey. “ I absolutely love the fact that we can give back on a local level, helping out school clubs, sports teams, church youth groups, and anyone trying to raise money for their cause. Plus, the fact that clothes and textiles are then given another life makes it even more rewarding!”

Unlike the quintessential fundraiser that asks people to buy candy bars, flower bulbs or candles, Clothes for the Cause assists community groups and youth and makes a positive impact on the environment and in-need communities, without charging event participants a cent. Instead of decaying in landfills, donated items are re-worn, reused or ethically recycled both in the United States and abroad, based on best use. It is free, fun, easy and great for the environment!

If you would like to organize a clothing fundraiser with Clothes for the Cause this fall, please visit our website at www.clothesforthecausefundraising.com, and contact Susan Hopkey, Regional Manager.  We have a growing team of event planners who would love to work with you and support your group!  With the Battle of the Bags bonus this fall, we are excited about more pounds and more money back to groups in need!
