The announcement follows a donation of 20,000 pairs of shoes
this week to a number of Colorado nonprofits, including Volunteers
of America, Mental Health Corporation of Denver and Airline
Ambassadors, each providing humanitarian aid to children and
families in need as well as relief and development to
under-privileged communities worldwide. Through these nonprofits,
the donated shoes will come as a welcomed surprise to hundreds of
USO (United Service Organizations) service members and their
families, as well as low income families in Denver this holiday
season.
“Giving back has always been part of the Crocs culture,” said
John McCarvel, Crocs President and Chief Executive Officer. “In a
time when many families are struggling, we believe it is our
responsibility to give back to the communities in which we do
business, and donating shoes is one way we are able to help those
in need throughout the world.”
Crocs regularly partners with a variety of local and global
non-profits, including UNICEF,
Brother’s Brother Foundation and Feed the Children to donate tens
of thousands of Crocs™ shoes to impoverished communities and areas
that have been affected by natural disasters. The Company is
dedicated to providing basic necessities to the more than one
million people around the world living on less than a dollar a day,
that would otherwise go without. Additional information about the
