Have you heard about this group?
Possibly you've seen them mentioned as a benefactor of the Moto Fite Club auction?

Briefly, they are a grassroots effort to help provide protective eyewear to hospitals that are in need.
So far they have provided over 41,000 pairs of goggles.
Here is their website https://gogglesfordocs.com/

Seeing there are 5 Ohio hospitals requesting approximately 60 pairs, I decided to get involved.
I'm volunteering my time to find goggles and my home is currently the only dropoff location in Central Ohio.

So, I'm asking if you will help. Might you have any gently used or new goggles that could be donated?
They will accept either moto or ski goggles. Clear lenses are preferred but they aren't picky.
You can get them to me via drop off at my home, at a track, or ship them yourself.

More information to follow.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Update:

Thank you Brian Flanagan/Sam's Bar in Delaware for the 18 pairs of goggles donated to Goggles For Doc's!

Working with Jeremy Osborn, half of these were donated to the Licking Memorial Hospital Emergency Room.
Unfortunately due to hospital regulations, they wouldn't allow any pictures. LM ER was chosen because
they are the closest to Briarcliff MX.

The remaining pairs are in the process of being donated, details to follow.

The need for protective equiptment is still an issue and with reopenings, its more than just doctors in need, i.e Nurses, Teachers, Fire & Rescue ++

Possibly the Ohio tracks, dealerships, OMA, AMA could get behind this program?

Please DM me if you have new or used goggles (ski or motorcycle) you would like to donate or wish to get involved.

Thank you for your consideration
