Our primary focus is on mass participation events which encourage more people to get active and stay active. We are involved with many community based clubs, bike rides, runs and other human powered activities.Â
In general, we do not sponsor galas, dinners, golf tournaments or sporting events where the majority of people are watching not doing.
Charitable events are prioritized with a focus on local charities.Â
Events which are geographically close to the stores and charities which help to get people out and active get priority. We do not sponsor individuals raising money to participate in events.
As a general rule we do not sponsor individual athletes, trips or expeditions.Â
Our focus is on providing opportunities for everyone to get and stay active.
