Altitude Sports is a Canadian activewear brand with a huge heart.
This fall, they are relaunching their giving program, Alti Action, to benefit amazing charities working to make sports and the outdoors more accessible for marginalized youth and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour). Through Alti Action, they have raised over $300,000 for their various partner organizations.
We are so excited that they have chosen to partner with us in support of our Adventure Sessions program!
COVID-19 has changed the way communities engage in sports and the outdoors. Altitude Sports is helping those facing the most barriers through Alti Action.
Alti Action: Do Good, Feel Better
Altitude Sports is a proudly Canadian activewear retailer that makes technical clothing for the city and nature. Until October 1, 2020, you can add donate $15 to one of the partner organizations, and receive 30 Alti-dollars towards a future purchase.
Especially with COVID-19 impacting communities’ and individuals’ health, creating opportunities for sports and outdoor recreation is becoming more important than ever. Being active and spending time in nature is a vital escape for many people in lockdown. Studies have shown that being outdoors and engaging in exercise contributes to overall mental and physical well-being. However, many marginalized people face barriers and are made to feel unwelcome in these spaces. Altitude Sports is working to change that, and you can help by heading to their online store now to find some clothing or gear and donating to the Alti Action fund.
