CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – Orvis Charlotte is pleased to announce their “Giveback Days” event taking place throughout the month of September. The outdoor retailer is partnering with the Charlotte chapter of Ducks Unlimited, a nonprofit dedicated to the conservation of wetlands and associated upland habitats for waterfowl, other wildlife and people.
“The Charlotte chapter of Ducks Unlimited is important to the conservation efforts in the Charlotte region,” stated Trey Oliver, Orvis Charlotte store manager. “Clean water, healthy wildlife and wetlands are all vital pieces to a vibrant environment. We appreciate the volunteers and members that work hard each day to help protect and restore our resources for the next generation.”
In addition to a $2,000 cash donation from Orvis, the company is challenging their customers to give back, as well. During the month of September customers donating $10 or more will receive a $10 Orvis savings card (limit one per customer).
There will be an after-hours event in the Orvis Charlotte store, 6800 Phillips Place, on Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018, from 6-8 p.m. where the final donations will be awarded to the Charlotte chapter of Ducks Unlimited and partner groups will be raffling Orvis products to help raise additional funds. The public is invited to attend and there will be free refreshments and drawings for Orvis savings cards.
Orvis commits 5% of pre-tax profits to protecting and sustaining the natural world, not only now, but for all who follow.
