Christy Sports Recognized as Adapting to Good Award Winner in the 2022 Social Impact Awards
The award honors Christy Sport’s commitment to adapting their giving strategy in the wake of current events and crises to make a positive impact where needed most
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (January 31, 2022) -- Christy Sports LLC, one of the leading outdoor specialty retailers and service providers in the U.S., today announced it has won a 2022 Social Impact Award in the Adapting to Good Award category. The inaugural edition of the awards features retail brands who have gone above and beyond in their charitable efforts benefiting nonprofits and have social impact woven deeply into their DNA.
The Adapting to Good award recognizes a brand that has adapted their giving strategy and engaged in direct response fundraising in the wake of current events and crises to make a positive impact where needed most. ShoppingGives determined winning brands based on their giving strategies and impact.
“As part of our corporate social responsibility, we partnered with Shopping Gives to help contribute to causes that matter most to our employees, our customers and the broader communities we serve,” said Matt Gold, CEO of Christy Sports.
“This also directly aligns with one of our core values, ‘Be Good Humans,’ and we appreciate the recognition by Shopping Gives for our efforts. We’re continuing to make an impact by supporting different organizations like the Community Foundation of Boulder County to provide aid to those who lost their homes in the Marshall fire, US Ski and Snowboard athletes heading to Beijing, and giving a more diverse group of children the chance to experience skiing and snowboarding through the Share Winter Foundation.”
Over the past year Christy Sports has launched its online Give Back initiative by partnering with different causes each month and donating 1% of all online retail sales each month. The program has evolved to include the opportunity for guests who visit brick locations to give additional support when warranted, as was the case with efforts to support victims of the Marshall fire in Boulder County this January.
“This inaugural group of Social Impact Award winners are torch-bearers spearheading the future of social impact,” said Ronny Sage, Founder & CEO of ShoppingGives. “They’ve leaned into the promising future of a Giving Economy where brand growth is aligned with making the world a better place, and we’re proud to recognize that commitment and leadership.”
