Tukwila, WA -- ExOfficio, a Seattle-based adventure apparel outfitter, has passionately reacted to the immediate needs of the people affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
Corporate ExOfficio employees sorted through customer returns, overstock and unsold inventory to supply World Concern with durable and climate managing clothing needed for people of Haiti. Donating $430,000 worth of clothing, ExOfficio was able to fulfill immediate needs in Haiti through World Concern.
Finding creative ways to raise funds for Haiti, ExOfficio turned tradeshow happy hours into fundraisers where they gave 100% of the proceeds of ExOfficio footwear sales to World Concern to support their efforts in Haiti.
"The people of Haiti are struggling with a true life changing situation. Our contribution may make this overwhelming time a bit more bearable. We raised $2425 in footwear sales and matched 100% contributing a total of $4850 to World Concern and their efforts in Haiti. It's our mission to help where we can and to take every opportunity to consider events of the people of this world," -- Dave Nacke, Vice President of Sales, ExOfficio Footwear.
