Help the Ridgewood Barracudas Prepare for their 2017 Summer Season and get a tax break!

Community members are invited to donate gently-used clothing and household items at the Ridgewood Barracudas Donation Drive, to be held December 10 from 10 am – 3 pm at Ridgewood Pool parking lot at 12350 Oakwood Drive in Lake Ridge.

The drive’s goal is to raise funds to support the Ridgewood Barracudas 2017 summer season. Acceptable donations include clothing, shoes, accessories, linens, books, and small household items (no furniture).

“Our team has over 250 swimmers from the Lake Ridge area and all over Prince William County. We have two developmental swim programs in addition to our competitive team. Events like the Donation Drive help us raise needed funds so every swimmer can participate in a fun, competitive, and safe environment,” says Ridgewood Barracudas President Jennifer Lee.

All goods collected through the Donation Drive fundraiser program are sold to Savers, the parent company to great thrift stores like Value Village, Unique, and Savers. They pay us by the pound for every qualifying donation received. In turn, these items help keep their floors freshly stocked. Your donations are tax-deductible, so clean out those closets before the holiday company comes and get a tax break before the end of the year!
