Chaco will be a platinum sponsor of the Outsiders Ball. Organized by the Outdoor Foundation of the U.S. on the eve of the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, it raised last year nearly $400,000 to support 100 community projects across the country to promote greater participation in outdoor sports. Many of them were recommended by local retailers. So far, the foundation has funded over 250 projects, connecting 70,000 young people to the outdoors, investing $3 million to inspire a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts.
