“This partnership is a perfect match on many levels,” said Erin Hoffarth, marketing manager for Mountain Khakis. “We’re proud to support BADASS Dash’s mission of raising awareness for Autism Speaks. And while participants are pushing their physical limits with the demanding course, they’re having FUN in the outdoors. It speaks directly to our Work Hard, Play Harder philosophy!”
