Jansport was recently presented with the Continental Divide Trail Alliances' prestigious Corporate Award. The annual award recognizes a company that has committed significant time and resources to the completion and protection of the CDT.
Harv Erickson, Chief Financial Officer and board member of the CDTA accepted the award during the fifth biannual national conference of the Continental Divide Trail Alliance (CDTA), sponsored by REI and the National Forest Foundation. The conference brought people together to participate in workshops and seminars that addressed the most compelling challenges facing the Alliance.
According to CDTA executive director Bruce Ward, “Not only has JanSport been a leader in providing significant financial support, they have demonstrated a commitment to our organization with untold hours of professional assistance, involvement in key special events and morale support that makes all the difference. We greatly appreciate their dedication to completing the King of Trails.”
JanSport's support of worthwhile causes and exceptional individuals is a long-standing JanSport tradition. Reinforced by JanSport President Mike Cisler's philosophy of “sharing your gifts and good fortune,” JanSport has furthered various philanthropic, environmental and conservation endeavors throughout the United States for over 20 years.
The Continental Divide Trail Alliance is a national non-profit membership organization dedicated to the completion, maintenance and protection of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail since 1995.
