October 13, 2008–Bula, North America’s Largest Provider of Winter Accessories, today donated nearly 1,000 hats and accessories valued at approximately $25,000 USD to Colorado-based non-profit Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC).”We greatly admire the wonderful work the BOEC does in fostering the potential of people with disabilities and special needs through meaningful, educational, and inspiring outdoor experiences,” said Bula Brand Manager Juliet Korver. “Donating a portion of product is just one way we show our thanks and gratitude to organizations in mountain communities making a difference.”
Bula’s partnership with the BOEC further extends its philanthropic ties to mountain communities. Two percent of Bula’s GREEN product line sales go to the National Ski Areas Association’s “Keep Winter Cool,” campaign, a sustainability grant program that provides seed money to innovative resort initiatives on global warming.
“We are extremely grateful to Bula for their support of the BOEC for their donation of winter accessories. At the BOEC we utilize over 250 dedicated volunteers, 24 unpaid interns annually, and have a highly skilled team of employees. Bula’s donation allows the BOEC to recognize our volunteers, staff and interns with an appreciation gift without tapping into our general operating funds. In-kind contributions are extremely important to the BOEC and we thank Bula for appreciating the great work we do in the community opening the outdoors to all”. said BOEC Development Director Marci Sloan.
