Gerber Gear, the supplier of activity-specific knives and multi-tools, announced plans to support Team Rubicon by donating 10 percent of all proceeds made during the month of September through gerbergear.com in acknowledgment of National Preparedness Month.
Team Rubicon is a non-profit organization whose primary mission is to provide disaster relief in underserved communities. This is done by uniting the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams domestically and internationally.
Gerber’s partnership with Team Rubicon extends several years, offering support through product donations for member kits, event attendance and new this month, a portion of website sales. Gerber products deploy alongside the Greyshirts to serve worldwide in disaster zones.
“We believe the unwavering strength and determination of our service members continues well beyond their time in active duty,” said Andrew Gritzbaugh, general manager of Gerber. “Team Rubicon confirms this belief and leverages the American veteran’s unique skill set in remarkable ways. We are honored to stand behind Team Rubicon and provide support to their members and mission whenever we can.”
