Sports Authority is undregoing a major change and finishing the a major merger that was done a year ago. The company merged together with several sporting goods companies and their home office in located here in Colorado.

My husband has worked for this company and do a lot of community work here in Colorado. I can not ask for donations but do ask store managers about clearance items (something they have items in their store room that are two years old) that they would love to get rid of at almost a donation price! Our PTO has purchased lots of toys/folders/other fun items for next to nothing. All ya gotta do is talk with a manager!

Here are some more negative responses that I have received:

Circuit City -- contact local store not corporate
Energizer
Russell Athletic
Logitech, Inc.
Great Wolf Lodge (Sandusky) -- offers a suite at a
reduced rate
Discovery
Kidsbooks.com
Collectibles Today
Precious Moments
Charlesbridge Publishing -- can purchase damaged
books at a reduced price
Brunton -- offers a 40% off certificate
Callaway Golf Company
PING -- offers a program of buy 1 get 1 free
OPI Products, Inc.
Omaha Steaks
Nestle USA
Kraft Foods
Kodak
Polaroid Corp.
Eddie Bauer -- donating on hold

Got a no back yesterday from OPI. They said not at this time so maybe that will be a positive for someone else at a later date.

Nintendo time frame issue maybe cause they sent us a game cube kit

Conagra also gives locally. We have a huge plant and they support our Hoe Down.

American Eagle Outfitters might be regional because I did receive a donation from them last week.

If anyone is in CT..Bigelow Tea will donate to the CT area.
