Merrell

ROCKFORD, Mich., May 14, 2009 — In an era when wired, indoor lifestyles threaten to consume natural outside inclinations, Merrell and the National Park Foundation (NPF) have partnered to get more people living active and outdoor lives. A long-term agreement, formalized today, represents a unique and synergized partnership between Merrell and the NPF that will work to make the National Parks more visible and invite more people to get outside and enjoy these natural resources. Merrell's involvement will include a wide variety of events at both the national and grassroots levels, partnership at local Merrell stores, special promotions and giveaways, and other broad outreach initiatives that will raise awareness of the parks and all that they have to offer.
