ALPS Bolsters NWTF Mission with New Philanthropic Initiative
EDGEFIELD S.C. – For week five of its Sales for Conservation initiative – Nov. 20 - Nov. 24 – ALPS OutdoorZ is giving back 20% to 30% of sales from its turkey hunting collection to the NWTF for mission delivery, making next week the perfect time to get ready for the spring season.
ALPS is a premier manufacturer of extreme-duty gear and accessories for hunters of all pursuits. ALPS’ award-winning turkey hunting gear includes some of the best products on the market, including the Super Elite 4.0 turkey vest, recipient of Field and Stream’s 2023 “best overall turkey hunting vest” and the Grand Slam Turkey Vest, recipient of Outdoor Life’s 2023 “best for long sits,” as well as a favorite among NWTF staff.
“From providing gear at our outreach events to sponsoring our national events, ALPS has a long history of supporting the NWTF mission,” said Cari Bennett, NWTF licensing coordinator. “This is the perfect time to gear up for the spring while supporting a great cause. We are proud of our partnership with ALPS and look forward to what we can accomplish together.”
Recently, ALPS has sponsored numerous NWTF education and outreach programs, including the NWTF’s Learn to Hunt, Field to Fork and JAKES events. ALPS was also a key sponsor at the NWTF’s National Leadership Conference. Their Sales for Conservation initiative is the most recent contribution from ALPS’ longstanding dedication to the NWTF’s mission.
"The outdoors is our shared heritage, and as leaders in the outdoor industry, conservation is at the heart of our brand values," said Dennis Brune, CEO of ALPS OutdoorZ. “Partnering with NWTF in our Sales for Conservation program will help protect the wild places we all enjoy and help ensure turkey hunting for future generations.”
