Welcome to SOTTG’s First Annual Local Gi[ve] Back Gear Exchange!
We’re thrilled to kick off our inaugural gear exchange event. When SOTTG first started, we recognized that many students were unable to participate in our traditional Gi classes due to the challenges of finding a properly fitting Gi or the cost of purchasing one. In response, we began collecting gear and redistributing it within our community to help close that gap.
Thanks to the generosity of our amazing community, our efforts have grown tremendously. We’ve reached a point where we are bursting at the seams, and we’re excited to launch this annual on-site exchange to further support our members and the greater local community.
How It Works:
1. Bringing an Exchange
If you have gently used gear that no longer fits or that you no longer need, bring it in! For every exchange, you’ll be able to pick up up to **two Gi’s** and **two pieces of No-Gi gear**.
2. Making a Donation
If you don’t have gear to exchange but would like to participate, you can bring a **$15 donation** and choose up to **two Gi’s** and **two pieces of No-Gi gear**.
3. Dropping Off Gear
We know that several gyms collect gear or have extra gear they want to redistribute. We will have a **drop-off point** where you can bring gear, and we’ll ensure it gets into the hands of those who need it.
Honor System:
As always, we encourage everyone to follow the **honor system**: take what you need, and give what you can. This is a community-driven effort, and your participation ensures that others can benefit too.
Even if You Don’t Need Gear, Join Us!
If you don’t have gear to donate or don’t need anything for yourself, we still invite you to stop by! We’ll have several community partners who are eager to meet you, and we’d love to see you there.
Thank you for being a part of SOTTG’s amazing community, and we look forward to seeing you at the event!
