Release Date: March 10, 2008 | view all press releases
SkirtSports, creator of the original fitness skirt, has announced the launch of a new philanthropy campaign, “Help Us Help You Help Others”.
Kicking off ten months of giving, from March 1st through the end of 2008, SkirtSports’ customers will have the opportunity to submit charities they think are a good fit for SkirtSports to support.
“SkirtSports is a company with a loyal and strong customer base, who continue to help us succeed in our mission,” stated Nicole DeBoom, SkirtSports Founder. “Through our philanthropic work, we want to help our customers succeed in giving back to the charities that they support and care about.”
Each month a different local or national charity will be chosen and the winner will be announced on the SkirtSports website (www.skirtsports.com). The winning organizations will receive $500 to aid in their charity’s mission. In addition to the
SkirtSports company contribution, customers will be invited to donate to the organization of the month, during the checkout process, where they can choose to donate from $5 to $100.
Kicking off the campaign, SkirtSports is pleased to announce their March contribution of $500 to Jenny’s Light (www.jennyslight.org ), a foundation created by professional triathlete Becky Lavelle, to spread awareness, educate and help support women and families dealing with post-partum illnesses. With the money raised, Jenny’s Light plans to help fund additional research, work to get legislation passed for mandatory screening of new moms, pay for literature in hospitals and set up support groups.
