Gildan Makes Dominican Donation
Gildan Dominican Republic donated RD$1.31 million to the Dominican Rehabilitation Association, raised during the first Gildan Glow Run held December 14 at the Mirador Sur Park in the Dominican Republic.
Gildan Dominican Republic and the Dominican Rehabilitation Association joined forces to bring hope to thousands of children with physical and motor disabilities in Guerra.
Gildan Country Manager Freddy Barrantes said his company is satisfied with the funds raised and the support received from the people who joined the cause. "Once again we stressed the importance of promoting active living, sports and integration by Gildan employees to contribute to these activities as a noble cause for Dominican society."
"Our main purpose is always to support education, the quality of life of individuals and the rights of children, especially those children who live in communities near our institution," the executive said.
Americraft Changes Name to One29 Promotional
Americraft Products is now doing business under the name One29 Promotional Division. One29 (last three numbers of its zip code) is the newly launched retail division of select products from the Americraft product line. In an effort to streamline the marketing and branding strategy, the company decided to merge the two brands.
Moving forward, One29 will operate a retail and promotional division. The One29 retail line will be sold at select major retailers. Company officials said this helps promotional distributors because the MSRP of One29 retail will be significantly higher than One29 Promotional. One29 Promotional will also continue to sell exclusively through promotional distributors. One29 Promotional will not be selling direct to consumer.
