Support the North Bay Fire Victims

Dear Sports Basement Customers:

          We have had a heartwarming and inspiring response in donations from you. Together, we have supported hundreds of people affected by the fires. Thank you so much. We continue to work hard to make sure the donations get to the shelters and people in need.

          With our store in Santa Rosa, we have many people on the front lines of this horrible devastation. Increasingly, we have learned that the best way to serve these people is cash and gift card donations. The shelters and nonprofits know exactly what they need, and the stores in the area have the logistics and skill to serve these communities most effectively.

          We are now encouraging cash donations to shelters and charitable agencies as well as gift cards. From their experiences in talking with the victims of the fires, we are offering our North Bay customers 25% off everything in our Santa Rosa store so that they can purchase essential supplies such as sleeping bags, flashlights, tents, shoes, socks and clothing. If you would like to support that effort, you can purchase gift cards on our website or in any of our stores. We will make certain the cards get to those in need in the North Bay.

          It’s a fluid situation. The needs may change again and we will keep you updated on how your support can be most impactful.

Thank you,

Eric Prosnitz

CEO, Sports Basement

    Good post. I learn something more challenging on completely different blogs everyday. It would always be stimulating to learn content from different writers and practice a little bit something from their store. Iprefer to use some with the content on my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a hyperlink in your net blog. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi, Mike. I called the Sports Basement in Berkeley and they confirmed that they are NOT accepting used camping supplies.

    Thank you so much for your assistance. I was overwhlemed by the support of your staff at the Santa Rosa store. Tjry were able to help me and my agency obtain much needed supplies for our community. Each day we have been to the evacuation centers and thanks to people like you and your team, we are able to provide much needed crisis items.
    Sportsbasement is what is right for our community right now!
    Sincerly,
