10% of Giving Tuesday Profits to Backyard Habitat
In honor of the late Leigh Perkins and his love for his home river, Orvis donated 10% of Giving Tuesday profits to restoration efforts on the Battenkill in southern Vermont. It is one of the most iconic undammed freestone rivers with healthy populations of wild brook trout and brown trout in the Northeast.
$53,000 to The Everglades Foundation
Orvis and the Everglades Foundation continued the critical work of restoring the flow of freshwater south through the Everglades and into Florida Bay, in our collective efforts to bring back an ecosystem on the verge of extinction. A restored Everglades will enhance the carbon sequestration capacity of this unique ecosystem, which spans 3 million acres of freshwater and estuarine wetlands.
$383,000 to Fight Canine Cancer
Through our beloved Cover Dog Contest, Orvis and our customers raised $383,000 for Morris Animal Foundation and their Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. The study is one the largest, most comprehensive of its kind in the United States, collecting valuable data on over 3,000 enrolled golden retrievers. The foundation, a global leader in advancing veterinary medicine, supports canine cancer research and improves the health of all dogs.
