SPORT
CHALET TO COLLECT COATS FOR CLOTHES4SOULS?, AT ALL STORE LOCATIONS
NOVEMBER 16 TO NOVEMBER 22
Customers are invited to donate their gently worn winter coats and in
return Sport Chalet will give them a special offer on any new winter
coat
Nashville, TN - November 16, 2010 - Coming alongside their nationwide
drives to collect shoes, Soles4Souls announced in early 2010 the launch
of their new charitable division Clothes4Souls. Due to the success of
the recent Sport Chalet shoe drives the two companies are partnering
again to launch a new kind of campaign.
During November 16 thru 22, Clothes4Souls and Sport Chalet will be
collecting gently worn coats to ship to persons in need, whether they
are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme
poverty. During this period, Sport Chalet customers will have the
opportunity to donate their gently worn coats. In exchange for each coat
donated, Sport Chalet customers will receive a 20% discount on any new
regularly priced coat in the store.
"Our footprint is changing as we forge forward for the next five years,"
said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. "We recognized the
overwhelming need internationally and domestically for coats and we are
excited to offer the customers of Sport Chalet an avenue to give back
more than just footwear." he said.
�With over 1.2 million shoes donated earlier this year, Sport Chalet
customers displayed their overwhelming support to help those in need, so
we are very eager to give them another opportunity to donate and this
time we are giving them something in return,� said David Hacker,
Director of Marketing and Advertising of Sport Chalet. With winter
approaching, the timing of this drive will help customers stay warm
while giving warmth to others.
