0036_001_BackpackKingdom Hearts fans – we’re running a donation drive for this plushy Heartless Shadow Backpack. Dark, empty, cute, and very soft; stuff this plush heartless head with all of your tents, potions, elixirs and maybe even a dalmatian or two. Its main compartment opens almost all the way around its big head allowing access to a netted pocket set on a 15 inch laptop/tablet compartment. Made with a combination of soft minky fabric, cushiony foam and water resistant nylon, this fully adjustable backpack will hold all that you need to win your own personal keyblade war without letting you fall into darkness.

Donate $7.13 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 11:30pm PST.

We here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous food and drink sponsors, Victoria Pie Co.  As most of your know, a lot of the Desert Bus crew are stuck here for many MANY hours during the run and, as as it turns out, we need food and drink to survive (who knew, right?).  We couldn’t make it through this event without the generous support of sponsors willing to provide us with the sustenance and energy we need!

 

Victoria Pie Co is Victoria’s first and only pie shop, located in the Victoria Public Market in the Hudson building at 1701 Douglas St (corner of Fisgard and Douglas).  They proudly to use local ingredients that are sustainable and have positive environmental impacts.

This year, Victoria Pie Co have generously donated gift cards to the crew so that we can keep ourselves fueled with delicious locally made pies! Yum!

Thank you, Victoria Pie Co, from all of us here at Desert Bus!
