DICK’S Sporting Goods and its affiliated foundation have announced a commitment of more than $10 million to assist communities impacted by the devastating wildfires in California and the mass destruction caused by flooding in North Carolina.
The commitment includes in-kind donations of clothing, footwear, and sporting goods equipment with a retail value of more than $8 million to those in need in Los Angeles and Asheville through DICK’s partnerships with Good Sports and 4 Good Community; a $1 million donation to the American Red Cross; matching checkout donations at retail stores up to $1 million; and an ‘LA Strong’ apparel collection with all proceeds donated directly to the American Red Cross and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.
“The devastation these natural disasters caused is heartbreaking, and we’re committed to helping our athletes, communities, and teammates rebuild and recover from these tragic events,” said DICK’S Sporting Goods executive chair Ed Stack. “We thank the first responders and the many organizations who are joining in these efforts to support impacted communities in Los Angeles and Asheville in every capacity.”
