The Fresh Air Fund

Today, Free Country, the leading clothing brand that has created outdoor apparel designed with high-performance fabrics, functionality, versatility, and comfort for more than 30 years, has announced a new partnership with The Fresh Air Fund (FreshAir.org), the not-for-profit youth development organization, in celebration of GivingTuesday.

GivingTuesday (GivingTuesday.org) was created in 2012 and it is now a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

On Tuesday, Nov. 29, customers will be able to support The Fresh Air Fund through purchasing online at FreeCountry.com; Free Country will donate 10 percent of all sales to The Fresh Air Fund.

"The outdoors belongs to all of us, and we want to give everyone the freedom to belong outside, in comfortable clothing for wherever their adventure takes them," said Ira Schwartz, Founder and CEO of Free Country. "That's why we've partnered with The Fresh Air Fund to invest in our city's children who will experience and develop a love for the outdoors, which is our core mission and what inspires Free Country every day." 

"We are so proud to partner with Free Country and further our mission to transform the lives of children from New York City's communities that are underserved," said Lisa Gitelson, CEO of The Fresh Air Fund. "Every dollar impacts a child by offering them transformative experiences. We are excited to kick off this initiative that will strengthen the children and families of our city."
