WASHINGTON - The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership today announced that it has to date received $55,000 in donations from The Orvis Company resulting from the sale of the "Roosevelt Collection" clothing line.
<br>Inspired by the ruggedness and flair of the original Rough Rider, the Roosevelt Collection debuted in September 2006. Extending its long record of commitment to conservation, Orvis has devoted a portion of the proceeds from every sale of a Roosevelt Collection item to the TRCP.<br>
<br>"When we looked to the past for inspiration for the Roosevelt Collection," said David Perkins, Vice President of Orvis and a TRCP board member, "we saw that we needed to find ways to extend Theodore Roosevelt's conservation legacy in the future. The TRCP is an organization committed to this very goal, and we are very happy to do anything we can to support its efforts."<br>
<br>"As our young organization has grown so rapidly, Orvis has been a constant booster, often challenging itself to find new ways to support our efforts," said TRCP President and CEO George Cooper. "The Roosevelt Collection is testament to the company's steadfast dedication to the stewardship of America's fish and wildlife."<br>
