On Saturday April 16, Pole Vault Carolina will host a meet to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. UCS and the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine have forged a path to directly donate to displaced children.
How you can help:
#1 We are asking our community to donate:
💙 New or gently used clean clothing for babies, children, and teens. Clothing is the #1 priority.
💛Lightweight and small in size athletic equipment like a deflated soccer ball, air pump, frisbee, or jump rope. Children are not in school and something to play with will be a diversion from their current reality.
💙Shrink or vacuum packaging bags to protect the clothing and make it easier to ship.
💛Monetary donations. 100% of donated funds will go toward this effort. Pole Vault Carolina and TAKEOFF Magazine will contribute to transportation fees. Please make checks payable to Pole Vault Carolina with ‘Ukraine’ in the memo line. Venmo to @polevaultcarolina.
#2 Sign up for the meet! Here is the link: https://tinyurl.com/ns882dmu
#3 We ask each athlete to contact 3 friends or family members to gather donations. Please make sure any gently used clothing is CLEAN and NOT damaged so the recipient will not have to figure out how to wash it before use.
#4 Come out and cheer the athletes on! The event will take place in The Backyard at Pole Vault Carolina, located at 2415 Presidential Drive, Suite 114, Durham, NC 27701. Come around the back!
#5 PVC Athletes, we will need help sorting and packing on Monday April 18 at 4 pm.
Questions? Please DM or email us at Jose@polevaultcarolina.com.
This meet will replace the Pole Vault Carolina Outdoor Invitational. The meet time is still at noon. Meet details will be emailed on April 14.
