True North donates $5,000 to Wildland Firefighter Foundation

             

True North recently donated $5,000 to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation from the 2010 sales of its limited-edition Alpha Jacket. The manufacturer of quality bags, backpacks and fire-resistant clothing had pledged $100 for every jacket sold during the 2010 "Help a brother or sister, and get a truly warm feeling in return" campaign to help wildland firefighters. The jackets have the Wildland Firefighter Foundation logo embroidered on the right shoulder and are part of True North's DragonFur Nomex fleece jacket line.

Wildland Firefighter Foundation's main focus is to help families of firefighters killed in the line of duty and to assist injured firefighters and their families. The foundation works with private and interagency organizations to bring recognition to wildland firefighters.
