Help Us Share and Protect the Places We Love
Why giving back is important to us.
Wild places inspire us, offer us a place to play, and bring our communities together. We believe in doing everything we can to sustain and share these places to ensure everyone has the opportunity to experience the joys of the outdoors. This month we’re donating a portion of our sock sales online and at select retailers to our advocacy partners to help enable them to promote inclusivity and preserve the places we love.
How can you participate?
You can purchase socks on Smartwool.com.
Each day from October 22nd through October 28th, we’re donating $1 for every pair of socks online (*Up to $2,000 per day for a total of up to $14,000) to a different advocacy partner — allowing you to choose which group to support by making your purchase on a certain day. This helps spread awareness of our advocacy partners’ efforts when it comes to climate change, creating environmentally positive policy, and equality in the outdoors.
