Lolë and Paradox Apparel Brands Donate New Clothing to Support Victims of U.S. Hurricanes
MONTREAL, Sept. 20, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Coalision Inc., the Montreal-based parent company of performance activewear apparel brands Lolë and Paradox announced today it is donating thousands of new clothing items to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey and Irma, which struck communities in the United States and caused widespread damage and destruction.
Coalision has partnered with non-profit organization, Delivering Good (formerly K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers) to donate a full truckload of new clothing including rainwear, thermal pants, and shirts, which has already been received in San Antonio for immediate distribution in Houston, one of the areas hit the hardest by the devastating hurricane. The rest of the shipment is being directed towards Florida to help provide a little comfort in the wake of Irma.
"I share in our employees' concern for the families impacted and am grateful we could add to the outpouring of support," says Coalision CEO, Bernard Mariette. "We are, and always have been, a company that believes in doing business while doing good and hope these contributions will help make a difference to those affected by these hurricanes."
As the relief efforts continue, Lolë and Paradox brands are prepared to engage in long-term recovery efforts, including fulfilling further in-kind donation requests through local organizations. In addition, Coalision will continue to support those employees affected by the disaster through direct outreach and assistance.
