2022 Neighborhood Olympics

Threadz Fundraiser
   

Helping Provide students items they need to attend school and be ready to learn.

Each year Tempe neighborhoods come together for a day of fun while also helping Tempe youth stay in school.  The infamous Neighborhood Olympics community event has been a tremendous supporter of Threadz teen clothes closets located at Tempe High and Marcos de Niza high schools by collecting much needed items to help fill the racks and shelves at Threadz.

Supporting Threadz in 2022

The Neighborhood Olympics team is hosting A Threadz Fundraising Week & Park Donation Drop-Off Day – with a side of Cornhole for their 10th anniversary event.

• Online Donation Drive – Sunday, February 13 through Sunday, February 20, 2022
• In-person Donation Drop-Off Day – Sunday, February 20, 2022 from 2-5 pm – Daley Park west ballfield

Although cash gifts are always part of the friendly neighborhood competition, this year all neighborhoods will be working as a collective whole to support Threadz and reach our ultimate team goal of $2,000!

At the event’s in-person Donation Drop-off Day, Sunday, February 20th from 2-5 pm, the Neighborhood Olympics team will be welcoming donations of gently-used/ almost-new TEEN clothing, new socks/underwear, and toiletry item.  This will take place at the Daley Park west ballfield.

About Threadz

Threadz teen resource centers are clothing boutiques housed in the Tempe Union High School District (Tempe High School and Marcos de Niza High School) that provide free clothing, hygiene items and school supplies to Tempe middle and high school teens. These items lift barriers for students and help them come to school ready to learn and achieve.

Every donation will make a difference to local teens throughout the year and send a warm message that their community is invested in supporting and uplifting them and their future.

Thank you for caring and giving to your community!
