We're a small
start-up outdoor apparel and accessory company
founded by Stephanie and Ed Raftery in 2002
with financial and consulting assistance
from the Disabled Businessperson's Association
and the New York State Commission for the
Blind and Visually Handicapped.
We're
committed to developing unique apparel and
accessories for use in a wide range of outdoor
activities. Our staff relies on its extensive
design experience to develop styles that
are a cut above the rest. Please compare
our fit, our comfort, our fabrics and our
attention to details. We aspire to be your
brand of choice for your outdoor adventures.

We believe that
it's not only our premium products that keep people
coming back, it's the opportunity to support a
brand that at least in a small way, is striving
to make a difference. We aspire to build a company
that stands for more than high quality, innovative
products, and we greatly value and appreciate
your support as we pursue our goals.
Goals and Objectives
-
Increase awareness, interest and support of
organizations that help people overcome challenges
of all kinds, whether it be dealing with physical
or mental disabilities or battling cancer or
other diseases.
- Promote
access to participation in outdoor recreational
opportunities. Through participation, people
with disabilities can go beyond their boundaries,
build both self esteem and confidence, and move
toward leading more fulfilling lives.
- Build
partnerships with select local, national and
global organizations that enable us to positively
impact the greatest number of people.
Our
Commitment
-
We're committed to donating a minimum of 10%
of our annual profits to our partner organizations.
In addition, for certain custom programs, we
donate a set dollar amount for the sale of each
item.
- We
endeavor to promote our partner organizations
through all of our marketing communication efforts,
including advertising, point of sale, brochures,
web site and more.
- As
a small company, we have a limited budget for
product donations, but we are committed to fulfilling
as many requests as possible. All such requests
must be submitted in writing along with detailed
information on your event or program.
