Built For Good Times, And For Good
Giving Back.
The Findlay Force shows up. Here are some of the causes we have put our time, hats, and dollars behind.
ACLU & NAACP.
We celebrated Juneteenth with three new hats, with 100% of sales donated to the ACLU and NAACP. Together, through the Donut and Juneteenth line of hats, the Findlay Force raised over $10,000. Our efforts put us into the ACLU Impact Society at the Justice Circle membership level. Let us keep learning, keep an open heart and mind, and work together to make the world a better place.
Face Shields.
We worked hard to produce face shields for US hospitals. We finished two large orders totaling 17,000 pieces and were then able to provide them to anyone else who needed them. Although they were for sale on the site, we donated hundreds to individuals who could not afford them. Each shield has a clear PET visor, polyurethane foam, and an elastic strap. Built to medical standards, they were used by medical professionals, free clinics, small-town governments, paramedics, and frontline workers nationwide.
Face Masks.
Along with the face shields and media armbands, we made 1,000 medical-grade surgical masks for a local medical group, all hand sewn by our team.
Media Armbands.
During the 2020 protests, we wanted news crews to stay safe while exercising their first amendment right to broadcast. We donated large, vibrant 'Media' armbands to local news stations to make them more identifiable as a neutral party.
Findlay Wildlife Park.
Welcome to the Findlay Wildlife Park, where good times are had by all. We launched six new hat styles and donated $5 from every hat sold to the Wildlife Conservation Network, a charity protecting endangered species that holds a 98 out of 100 rating on Charity Navigator. Together with the Findlay Force, we donated over $1,800.
Boys & Girls Club.
We sit on the Associate Board at the Portland Boys and Girls Club, and worked on a collaboration hat with all proceeds going to the club. We have also volunteered time to speak at their NE Portland club about our experiences in the business world.
Findlay Stimulus Package.
As COVID-19 hit, times were rough for a lot of the Findlay Force, so we stepped up. We gave out $30, no questions asked, to 50 Findlay Force members who were struggling financially or had recently lost a job.
Findlay Christmas.
Two years running, we asked our Facebook community what they wanted for Christmas, randomly chose more than 50 Findlay Force members, and gifted them exactly what they asked for. For every share the post got, we donated $1 to St. Jude Children's Hospital, and in the end donated over $1,400.
MD Anderson & The JT Foundation.
Justin 'JT' Thornton was a team member here, taken from us too soon after a battle with DSRCT, a rare and aggressive cancer. The JT Foundation Fundraiser was started by JT's girlfriend and our teammate Savannah Burke to keep his memory alive and raise money for MD Anderson. In August 2017 we hosted a charity auction at the warehouse and sold limited edition 'Cancer Sucks' hats, raising over $7,000.
Children's Hospital LA.
Partnering with Jamie Lee Curtis and her company My Hand In Yours, we are proud to support Children's Hospital LA.
