Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ's

Q: Why don't you accept t-shirts such as Bethlehem Soccer Club shirts or Tri-Village Little League shirts?

A: The Bethlehem Soccer Club and Tri-Village shirts come in a variety of colors and in the case of Tri-Village they contain the team sponsor's name. We're focusing on orange and black apparel and accessories.

Q: Why don't you accept Bethlehem Central sports equipment?

A: Two reason's: 1) Annually, the Boy Scout's hold a huge event at the High School where you can exchange sports equipment of all kinds. It's a huge fundraising event for them and we wouldn't want to take any business away from them, and

2) we don't have the storage space to hold all the equipment. If someone wants to volunteer storage space, then perhaps we could help collect items throughout the year and then donate it to the Boy Scout's for their sale. Please contact Leslie Trosset if you have available space you'd like to donate.

I believe the "Go Green" concept for Orange & Black clothing is ideal. I'm sure many Bethlehem families donate their gently used clothing to various charity bins around town, but to be able to give back to our own community with Bethlehem Orange & Black, perhaps even "Eagles" attire and help our community become more eco-friendly is a fantastic concept!
