Take Off Your Clothes – Boston

North America’s Biggest Clothing Swap is making its US of A debut in Boston on June 5 and June 6, 2010 and we need YOU to clean out your closets and get ready for action!

When:

Two Days!  Saturday June 5: 5pm-10pm; Sunday June 6: 11am-4pm

Where:

This 2-day event is being hosted by SoWa Sundays @ 500 Harrison Avenue in Boston. Plenty of FREE parking on both days and handy to public transportation.

What are the rules of the swap?

Participants who wish to attend Take Off Your Clothes should bring new,  like new or gently worn, clean, undamaged clothing, shoes and accessories for men, women or children. Underwear, socks, tank tops, pajamas, swimwear and bathrobes are not accepted. For each swappable item received, a ticket valid for a 1-for-1 exchange at the event is given to the participant. Items deemed unswappable, along with all clothing remaining at the end of the event, will be donated to Boomerangs, benefitting our charity partner, The AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts.

Priority check-in is available!

As an added service, The S.W.A.P. Team will pick up your clothes in advance of the event, or you may drop off your clothes at our drop-off locations for priority check-in (highly encouraged – email us at clothingpickups-BOS@theswapteam.org to schedule a pickup or drop-off).

What happens at the swap?

Music, food, fun - and swapping, of course!  You may even find a unique piece or two from a local designer or boutique tucked in among the racks.  This is a family-friendly event. Children welcome!

Who is The S.W.A.P. Team?

The S.W.A.P. Team is a non-profit social enterprise with an international presence.  It’s the creator of Take Off Your Clothes, a giant clothing swap for charity.  What a great way to revamp your wardrobe, make new friends and serve local communities! 12,172 pieces of clothing exchanged and counting!

Is there admission?

Optional donation at the door is $8.00
