CamelBak Donates All Proceeds from Booth Bottle Sales at OR and SIA

Boarding for Breast Cancer and the Outdoor Industry Association’s Youth Outreach Program both received individual donations from CamelBak this tradeshow season. A total of $11,000 was raised for the non-profits from sales of the new CamelBak Bottle during the two tradeshows. This was the launch of the new Bottle to the media and retailers.

“This was a great opportunity for CamelBak to help out two wonderful organizations,” said Mac Tillman, VP of Marketing at CamelBak. “We decided to launch the new Bottle at the shows and donate every penny from the $10.00 sales price to each foundation.”

Boarding for Breast Cancer received all proceeds from 400 bottles sold at the SIA show, for a total of $4000.00. OIA’s Outdoor Outreach Program received $7,000.00 from the 700 bottles sold at OR.

Boarding For Breast Cancer (B4BC) is a non-profit, youth-focused education, awareness, and fundraising foundation. Their mission is to increase awareness about breast cancer, the importance of early detection and the value of a healthy lifestyle. Check them out at www.b4bc.org

The growing concern among outdoor businesses and enthusiasts over youth inactivity and obesity has made this initiative a top priority for the outdoor industry.
