Crocs, Inc. Leads Community in Collections for Earthquake Victims

In the wake of this week’s natural disaster, Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX), a leading manufacturer and retailer of casual footwear, announced that it is donating thousands of pairs of Crocs™ shoes to Haitian earthquake victims. Moreover, the Company is opening their doors at its corporate headquarters located in Niwot, Colo. to serve as a community drop-off site for relief items.

In recent years, Crocs has partnered with Feed The Children, a non-profit organization that provides humanitarian aid to those in need around the world. The two organizations have once again teamed up to collect and transport relief goods to Haiti.

“Haiti is a country that constantly struggles with poverty and overpopulation,” stated John Duerden, President and CEO of Crocs, Inc. “We have provided shoes to communities throughout Haiti for the last several years, yet, the earthquake that rocked Port-Au-Prince this week has left millions without basic necessities. Between our global distribution channels and partnerships, we are able to mobilize quickly in an effort to get vital supplies to this region.”

“Crocs has been a key partner in providing footwear to those in need. In a time when the Haitian people need help the most, it came as no surprise that Crocs once again stepped up,” stated Toni Sellars of Feed The Children. “Feed The Children has more than 20 trucks of emergency relief supplies, including a generous donation of Crocs™ shoes, on the way to Haiti, yet much more is needed. We encourage anyone that can help to bring essential relief items to the Crocs corporate offices, or find a drop location in your own community.”

The following essentials are being collected:

Non-perishable food items
Water
Blankets
Work gloves for removing rubble
Medical supplies including bandages, antiseptics, latex gloves, first aid kits, etc.

Donations can be dropped at Crocs, Inc., 6328 Monarch Park Place, Niwot, CO 80503. Crocs is not a 501(c) corporation.
