In honor of Earth Day, JAX Outdoor Gear has two events coming up this weekend that may be of interest to you.

Please pass on this email and help spread the word!

GEAR SWAP

Participants are invited to bring in their gently used gear and set a price for sale.  Anything from your outdoor sports or recreation gear will qualify, from tents to packs to coats.  JAX will then sell the items.  In exchange, the participant will receive 80% of the sale price in a JAX Gift Card to use towards new gear.  10% of the proceeds of the sale will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Ames.

Gear may be dropped off Thursday and Friday, April  23 and 24 at JAX.  The sale will take place from 9:00 to 6:00 on Saturday April 25, and from 10:00 to 2:00 on Sunday April 26.  Gift cards and unsold gear will be available for pickup on Sunday, April 26, after 2:00 p.m. and Monday, April 27 from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Gear left after Monday will be donated to charity.

JAX believes in environmental responsibility.  The Gear Swap is part of a continuing effort to reduce, reuse and recycle.
