BEND, Ore., Jan. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hydro Flask, the
award-winning leader in high-performance, insulated stainless steel
flasks now in the Housewares segment of Helen of Troy Limited
(NASDAQ, NM: HELE), is excited to announce the launch of Parks For
All, the company's new charitable giving program.
Parks For All supports the development and maintenance of public
green spaces in the U.S. and beyond so people everywhere
can live healthier, happier and more fulfilled lives. Through
the program, Hydro Flask will donate a series of cash grants and
product donations to non-profit organizations whose missions align
with working to build, restore and preserve parks.
On January 11th, Hydro
Flask will fulfill grant requests from the Oregon State Parks
Foundation, Appalachian Trail Conservancy and Pacific Crest Trail
Association contributing a total of $85,000 in grant funds. The money will support
the Pacific Crest Trail Association's Trail Skills College program,
which provides training and education for PCTA volunteers, the
Appalachian Trail Conservancy's expansion of the Monson Visitor
Center, and Oregon State Parks Foundation's Ticket2Ride program,
which enables elementary and middle school-aged children from low
to moderate income communities to use the state parks for
experiential learning.
"Parks For All is our way of sharing the love we have for green
spaces, and ensuring these special places get the attention and
protection they deserve," said PR and Communications Manager
Lucas Alberg. "For us, parks
represent places we can all go to recreate, relax or be inspired,
ultimately making us healthier, happier and more fulfilled."
Oregon State Parks Foundation raises funds to enhance and
preserve more than 260 Oregon state parks. The Appalachian Trail
Conservancy preserves and manages the Appalachian Trail, ensuring
that its vast natural beauty can be shared and enjoyed today,
tomorrow, and for centuries to come. The Pacific Crest Trail
Association protects, preserves and promotes the Pacific Crest
National Scenic Trail as a world-class experience for hikers and
equestrians.
Since Hydro Flask's beginning in 2009, the company has
maintained its dedication to insulated products and living a life
free from lukewarm. Through Parks For All, Hydro Flask will share
its love for the outdoors and green spaces, ensuring these special
places get the attention and protection they deserve.
