Columbia Sportswear Company (Nasdaq: COLM), a leading innovator
in active outdoor apparel, footwear, accessories and equipment,
today announced that in response to Hurricane Dorian’s extensive
damage in the Bahamas, they will begin a Retail Charity Checkout
Program to support Dorian relief efforts in the Bahamas and the
U.S. Beginning on September 10, 2019 and through September 30th,
2019, Columbia Sportswear will match any in-store donations at all
Columbia retail and outlet stores in the U.S. dollar-for-dollar up
to $50,000. All funds will go directly to the 2019 Atlantic
Hurricane Season Recovery Fund of the Center for Disaster
Philanthropy. This top-ranked charity focuses on supporting
recovery needs for all areas affected by hurricanes in 2019,
particularly after media attention to the disasters has
dissipated.
In addition to the customer match, Columbia will also match any
employee donations from its family of brands (Columbia, SOREL,
Mountain Hardwear and prAna) to the Dorian relief effort.
Additionally, Columbia will also partner with Eastern Mountain
Sports (EMS) on relief efforts. From September 6 - 10, EMS will
donate 5% of all Columbia sales to the Hurricane Relief Fund, and
Columbia will match the 5% of sales as well.
“The devastation that this storm brought to the Bahamas is
catastrophic,” said Tim Boyle, President and CEO of Columbia
Sportswear. “We’d like to do whatever we can to aid in recovery
efforts for the Bahamas and the coastal United States.”
