The Timberland Company (NYSE: TBL) will kick off an innovative grassroots community revitalization tour of U.S. cities, the "Community Builders Tour" on July 24. The tour begins in Philadelphia and travel to major U.S. cities throughout the remainder of this year.
"At Timberland, we're about more than the rugged boots we've made for 30 years. We believe that companies have the power and the responsibility to effect positive and lasting change in the world," said Jeffrey Swartz, president and CEO.
Known for its commitment to employee volunteering, hundreds of volunteers will renovate parks and schoolyards, cultivate community gardens and re-build playgrounds. Service projects will be tailored to the needs of each particular community. Each service day will end with a celebration featuring live entertainment and information about local community organizations.
"Our mission with the Community Builders Tour is to build meaningful relationships and create excitement around the idea of serving your community to create lasting, positive change that will endure well after the tour has left town," said Swartz.
