Reebok Launches #ReebokLove Program Enabling Communities To Send Sneakers To COVID-19 First Responders And Essential Workers

Boston, MA, May 1, 2020 – Today, Reebok launches its #ReebokLove program that gives individuals the chance to thank a first responder or essential worker in their community by sending them a free pair of Reebok sneakers. Whether this a healthcare professional, a local grocery store clerk, police officer, postal worker, delivery person or other essential worker, all are invited to nominate someone they know, beginning today.

Nomination Process:

• Visit reebok.com/us/giveback
• Click to “Nomination” page, which will be live from May 1 through May 24
• Fill out the form and tell us about the hero you’re nominating who’s the front lines in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Reebok will send a select number of nominees a free pair of sneakers to express our collective appreciation for their work during this unprecedented time.
• Please note that pairs are limited (not all nominees will receive sneakers).

In addition, please read below an important message for the Reebok global community and an overview of the brand’s support initiatives:

Reebok Global Community
This is a unique time in our history.  A time where we need to come together – even if we can’t be together.  Reebok’s number one priority has been and continues to be the health, safety and well-being of our customers, employees and the greater community. With this in mind, we’re pressing pause on some of our daily operations to give back where we can. This includes:

Support to Global Relief Efforts
The company has provided a cash donation of 3m EUR to WHO (World Health Organization)’s COVID-19 Solidarity Relief Fund in Europe plus 1.25m EUR to the China Youth Development Fund. (The WHO is leading and coordinating the global effort of supporting countries to prevent, detect, and respond to the pandemic).

Supporting Those on the Front Lines with PPE Production and Distribution
At a local level we’ve created a dedicated team solely focused on creating masks, gowns and other personal protective equipment. We will keep you updated on our attempts and successes.

Free Fitness for You and Your Family
Endorphins are critical for both our physical and mental health, particularly in stressful times.  That’s why we’re offering free at home fitness and access to our trainers for both you and your family through our online Fitness Hub at Reebok.com.

Showing our Appreciation for Our Heroes
We’ve increased our longstanding company discount to first responders and educators to 50% off.  All nurses, military members, educators and first responders can shop 50% off at Reebok.com with no exceptions during this time.

We know none of this is a perfect solution, but we’re pausing to do what we can to help. We’ll continue to update the community on our efforts as they progress and evolve over time. We’re all in this together. #PermissiontoPause
