Similar in Missoula: We asked and a hospital accepted: They bought 480
helmets (minimum order I think for helmets with logos), with their logo on
one side, ours on the other, donated to us, and we gave them away. This
year we asked and received $500 cash for youth program.
We are also working at a fever pitch to make our roads and motorists 'safe.'
I've been looking for a non-plastic, non-fossil fuel helmet, with no luck
yet except for old gladiator armor.
