 Dear Chainlink Community,

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated workshop tools for The Better Boys Foundation BikeLab, and for those who wanted to donate, but were unable we appreciate your thoughts, we are extremely grateful for your generosity.

I would also like to express a SUPER SIZED Thank You! to Anne Alt. Anne was a tremendous catalyst in prompting others to donate.

Our plans are to establish a community based bicycle shop that will be run by students in the North Lawndale community.

If you donated items, could you please contact me via private message in order for The Better Boys Foundation to send you a donation acknowledgement letter.

Thank you,

Waymond Smith

p.s I will post a photo of the students and the tools later this week, I will also schedule an open house for anyone who want to visit BikeLab.
