Do you know when to trade BOOT ?
BOOT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. (Nasdaq:BOOT), a leading provider of premium,
branded work and outdoor recreational footwear, announced today that its
Danner brand raised over $10,000 for the Marine Corps Family Foundation
during a fundraising reception that took place earlier this month at
Quantico, VA. Danner more than tripled its donation amount from last
year and significant contributions were given from individual Marines,
ADS (www.adstactical.com)
and W.L. Gore & Associates (www.gore.com)
during the reception.
The donation goes directly to Operation Santa USMC, which began in late
2004 when Marine Corps moms Deb Conrad and Connie Riecke set out to send
packages to a platoon of 30 deployed Marines. Within a few short weeks,
troop supporters from all over the country had joined the effort by
sewing stockings, shopping for stocking stuffers and gifts, and
organizing packing parties. To date more than 75,000 filled holiday
stockings have been shipped to deployed Marines and Soldiers.
The holidays can be a difficult time for deployed Marines, Soldiers and
other service members. For many of these young men and women, this will
be their first Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday away from home and
family. Others have spent multiple holidays away from home. Connie
Riecke, co-founder of the foundation says, "Because of Danner's
commitment to Operation Santa and our troops we will be able to purchase
calling cards to ship out with the packages. Calling home is the
biggest gift of all...who doesn't want to talk to family on Christmas?"
What's next? Danner plans to follow up its financial fundraising efforts
by joining a "packing party" in Portland on Veteran's Day. Company
employees will help wrap the presents and prepare them for shipment to
our men and women deployed overseas. "Danner is honored to support
our men and women in uniform by delivering premium performance footwear
built to meet the demands and specific requirements for multiple
branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Connie, and all of the mothers
and volunteers at the Marine Corps Family Foundation, show us how a
little extra caring can quickly spread through the minds of Americans
wanting to support the morale of our troops and spirit of our nation,"
says Joe Schneider, LaCrosse and Danner President and CEO.
