Online Ski Sale: Get Affordable Gear and Benefit Your School

SwopBoard, a Seattle-based online community marketplace that allows users to sell things they no longer need, buy from people they trust, and give back to their schools, is hosting an online ski sale, “Ski-attle,” to raise money for local schools.

With thousands of local families and kids getting ready for their winter sports programs, the Ski-attle campaign offers a fast, easy way to sell outgrown winter sporting gear and buy affordable clothes and equipment, with a portion of each sale going toward a school of the seller’s choice. And, as a bonus, every school that gets at least 50 parents to list an item on SwopBoard will be entered to win an extra $1,000.

The Ski-attle sale runs now through Dec. 2. Visit www.SwopBoard.com to sign up and learn more.
