Hello All!
So earlier in the Fashion & Luxury section I had posted a pic of my new Saddleback Flight Bag Briefcase and the responses from everyone showed a lot of love for the Saddleback brand and their goods, so as Urban X Wheel & Tire I went ahead and ordered multiple items (and now have in my possession) in an effort to both give back to the Beyond community that has always supported my company as well as raise money for the charity I have actively supported for a long time, that being the Veterans Association Food Bank located at #10, 820-28th Street NE here in Calgary.
In regards to the Veterans Association Food Bank, what a lot of people do not know is that many vets will not go to anyone outside their own for help, but they will accept help from other veterans, and this specific food bank is heavily staffed and run by veterans helping other veterans, not only with food, but they are heavily active in the community helping veterans get out of homelessness and dealing with PTSD and so forth. It is a very worthy cause and I have done many things with them in the past and am good friends with some of the members so I can say with confidence they are a very solid organization!
To be eligible all I am wanting is to see people make either a monetary donation to the food bank directly and provide proof either by posting a screen shot here (or send me a PM if you would rather the donation amount remain between yourself and the food bank) or you can also stop by my shop at Unit 6, 1303 44th ave NE with a non-perishable food donation for the hamper which will get collected and donated by ourselves when we are finished. You will then be put in a draw and names will be selected for each specific prize. Obviously I would like to see as much raised for the charity as possible so I am suggesting a $20.00 donation as a minimum but by no means will smaller amounts be unappreciated, and higher ones appreciated even more. If you are willing to donate $50.00 or more I will give you 3 entries in place of a single one.
I will accept donations for the draw up until noon on the of day on Monday April 15th, 2024 at which time I will organize the names and do the draw...
The web address to make online donations is https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/71129?v2=true or you can go by their location in person (address at the link below), or for food donations come by Urban X at the North Store in Bay 6, 1303 44th ave NE.

The items up for giveaway are as follows... Values are shown in US dollars but remember the shipping costs, brokerage etc and exchange bring up the values to us poor Canadians!
These are all smalls in the grand scheme of things but they are extremely nice stuff and will last a lifetime! If you want to do something nice for charity and have a shot at a cool piece then please do donate!! If this works well I may do more in the future....
Cheers!
