LaCrosse Footwear Inc announced that it donated and matched the proceeds from the sale of more than 1,400 pairs of LaCrosse and Danner performance socks at the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) in January to support the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP).
The TRCP is a coalition of leading hunting, fishing and conservation organizations and individual partners working together to guarantee access to places to hunt and fish, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, and increase funding for conservation.
"Protecting American outdoor sporting traditions and wildlife conservation is a mission LaCrosse Footwear is proud to support," said Joseph P. Schneider, president and CEO. "We are appreciative of the dedication the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership gives in providing a voice for conservation organizations and for individual hunters and anglers nationwide."
In addition to LaCrosse Footwear's donation of $6,756 from the sock sale, the George and Virginia Schneider Charitable Foundation generously agreed to double the donation, providing a total $13,512 in donations to the TRCP. Former LaCrosse Footwear Board Chairman George Schneider and his wife Virginia developed the Foundation with their strong beliefs in giving back to the community.
Socks were made available to SHOT Show attendees for a suggested donation of $3 with LaCrosse Footwear's commitment to match initial sock sale donations. Due to an overwhelming response, this is the second year LaCrosse has donated socks for charity at the show.
