LAST CALL FOR DONATIONS FOR PUERTO RICO:

This is the last weekend to make your donations, please be sure to drop off any of the items below by Sunday!  As you all know, Puerto Rico was hit by two of the largest and more devastating hurricanes in history — Irma and Maria. It will be a very long and difficult journey for PR to recover. And as many of you also know, our amazing CrossFit Kingstowne family is comprised of many wonderful Puerto Ricans, many of whom either grew up in Puerto Rico and/or have family and friends still on the island who have been directly effected. I know our community can make a difference and provide some relief for the many Americans who have are struggling daily to get by. For the next two weeks we will be collecting much needed supplies such as:

  • baby food
  • canned foods
  • snacks / protein bars
  • batteries (C, D preferably)
  • baby and adult diapers
  • baby formula
  • baby wipes
  • disinfecting wipes
  • paper cutlery
  • Ensure

You may drop off your donations in a box that will be placed in the lobby area of our gym. Supplies will be shipped to a group of friends in PR who will distribute them to those in need.

If you prefer to make monetary donations here are two of the many organizations our CFK PR friends are supporting.

conPRmetidos – They are a tax registered organization – working to connect the diaspora to power up and rebuild Puerto Rico. 100% of donations to this fund will go exclusively to long-term relief for the victims of Hurricanes María and Irma.

Boys and Girls Club of Puerto Rico: : The Boys and Girls Club of Puerto Rico is an organization with after school programs that is critical to the island and supports thousands of kids and their families. They run 13 Club Houses across the island that now are one of the few safe spaces for children until they are able to go back to school. 100% of the funds will be used to rebuild their centers.

We encourage you to share these donation links with friends and family. Thanks for your support. If you have any specific questions, feel free to reach out Lety Juan who is helping to coordinate the collection and delivery efforts at lety.juan@pwc.com or (787) 402-8941.

Thank you to all who are willing to donate in any way. Your help is truly appreciated. #onecommunity #cfkfamily
