Bringing Ruckus to MS Bike Tour in Oregon!
The Ruckus Test Team will be joining one out of 100 rides all over the United States for one cause – to raise awareness and money for finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.
We've formed a team for the MS Bike Tour in Oregon because we know that riding 150 miles is nowhere near as difficult as confronting a lifetime with multiple sclerosis.
We are going to be hosting an event of controlled inebriation, games, and EPIC prizes that are well worth their weight in raffle tickets on July 18th at Blitz-Ladd (2239 SE 11th Ave., Portland, OR 97214). 21+ please, $10 door entry includes a raffle ticket. Additional raffle tickets will be available and we will strongly encourage you to buy them to win swag from:

Q&A School Supplies for Low-income Children
Does anyone know of agencies (besides Schoolhouse Supplies) that provide school supplies and/or backpacks for low-income children in the Portland-metro area? And I mean, children who aren’t necessarily clients of the agency.
Thanks!
