Outdoor Retailer + Snow Show 2019

OIA Industry Lunch presented in partnership with SIA: The Thrive Outside Imperative: Why Investing in Outdoor Participation Now Will Pay Off Later (Room MR405)

Are you concerned about the future of outdoor participation? Come hear from the Outdoor Foundation about the challenges and opportunities organizations like Environmental Learning for Kids, the Share Winter Foundation (SWF) and local Colorado SWF grantee SOS Outreach face in getting more kids and families outside; and what your company can do to support the industry’s future.

The Outdoor Foundation, the philanthropic arm of OIA, will also describe their new approach for investing in local nonprofits to increase participation through Thrive Outside Communities. The Outdoor Foundation’s Thrive Outside Communities are local collectives of regional nonprofits, neighborhoods, national organizations and outdoor industry brands and retailers that will be selected from cities across the country.
