LAKEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colorado-based Christy Sports is partnering with the Community Foundation of Boulder County Partner in January to support families, friends and colleagues impacted by the devastating Marshall and Middle Fork fires in Boulder County, Colorado.
As part of its ongoing Give Back initiative, Christy Sports will increase donations of the program to five percent of all online retail sales for the month of January to help aid employees, guests and the community where they live and work who are in need.
The company will also match the total amount raised online through its Give Back program in January to further support the recovery efforts. Guests can also donate directly at any Colorado Christy Sports store location. Additionally, Christy Sports invites any guests impacted by the fire who have specific needs regarding equipment or services they provide to reach out to them at 888-413-6966.
“We are proud to partner with the Community Foundation of Boulder County to help our community recover from this tragic event,” said Matt Gold, CEO of Christy Sports. “We are committed to helping those impacted by the most destructive fires in state history and will continue to provide aid and relief to the greatest extent possible.”
Christy Sports’ ongoing Give Back program donates one percent of all online retail sales to a different featured partner every month, featuring organizations that support their industry, community, and passions. As a Colorado based business, due to the local impact of the recent fires, they are increasing the donation multiplier in January from one percent to five percent.
Additionally, private equity firm TZP Group LLC, the principal owner of Christy Sports, will also be making a donation to the Community Foundation of Boulder County in further support of the disaster recovery efforts.
