Portland, OR – KEEN Inc. – a leader in hybrid outdoor performance products, including footwear, socks and bags – is announcing a partnership with 88bikes Foundation. The non-profit dedicated to providing bikes to young people in developing countries is the newest KEEN Hybrid.Care partner.
“88bikes is an outstanding organization. Through the power of their all-volunteer staff and the donations that they raise, they have given more than 400 bikes to kids in refugee camps, orphanages and other challenging living situations in developing countries,” says Linda Tom, Marketing Manager at KEEN. “KEEN is proud to support their efforts. They are a perfect fit with our Hybrid.Care program, which partners with social and environmental organizations actively working towards the greater good.”
KEEN will launch the new partnership with 88bike at the Interbike International Trade Expo, which takes place September 23 to 25 in Las Vegas. As part of the launch, KEEN will match the first 100 donations to 88bikes. Donation will buy bikes for their 2010 initiative, which will focus on delivering bikes to children who have been rescued from human trafficking in several countries across a few continents.
