Our deepest gratitude goes to the First Line Health Care Workers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. With a shortage of Personal Protective Eyewear (PPE), we’re asking you dig into your closets, garages and gear bins, and consider donating your old goggles along with Mt. Bachelor to our local community and Goggles for Docs program. Mt. Bachelor will be donating new goggles from Gravity Sports and cleaning out our lost and found for donations.
Donations will be accepted this Wednesday, April 8 and Thursday, April 9 at the Mt. Bachelor Park-n-Ride (SW Columbia St., Bend, OR 97702) from 9am-1pm. Drop-off will be drive-thru style and your donated goggles must be wiped down / sanitized and in a sealed, zip lock bag. Mt. Bachelor staff will be onsite and we ask that you maintain social distancing for the safety of our staff and other donors by staying in your vehicle.
Donations will be sent to First Line Health Care Workers in Central Oregon, which supports local doctors, nurses, medics and healthcare staff. Additional donations will be sent via Goggles for Docs to hospitals with the highest need, such as those in California, Colorado and New York.
Thank you for your consideration — we are all in this together.
