The Footwear Brand Will Donate $25,000 to Help Connect Future Generations to Communities and Nature Through Camp Fire Programs in the U.S.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AUG. 7,2023)– Inclusive national youth development organization Camp Fire announces its partnership with Teva®, a division of Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK) for International Youth Day on Saturday, August 12, 2023.
To celebrate International Youth Day, Teva will donate 100% of the marked retail price from sandal sales on August 12—up to a total guaranteed donation of $25,000—to Camp Fire, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting young people to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves.
“In our view, there’s nothing more important to the development of young people than to have a connection to and experiences in nature,” said Anders Bergstrom, Vice President, Global GM of Teva Footwear at Deckers Brands. “It celebrates their humanity, allows for wild play, and draws them together as a community. We love what Camp Fire stands for, and wanted to directly support their mission and the young people they represent across the country for this year’s International Youth Day and our 2023 Giveback with a Purpose Campaign.”
Camp Fire was founded in 1910 and envisions a world where all young people have equitable opportunities to thrive. Camp Fire works to remove barriers to its programs—overnight and day camp, afterschool, and more—and create safe spaces where all young people can have fun and be themselves.
“It’s exciting to work with partners like Teva that also prioritize innovation, self-discovery, and community and nature connection and that also care about environmental stewardship and justice, ” said Greg Zweber, Camp Fire National Headquarters CEO. Together, we’ll support youth across our 46 affiliates in 24 states.”
This campaign will run one day only – Sat. Aug. 12, 2023; shop to support at Teva.com.
