Protalus™ Pledges To Donate Insoles to First Responders During September Appreciation Month
To Show Appreciation and Gratitude for America's First Responders and Military, Protalus Will Donate a Pair of Insoles for Every Insole Purchased in September
WEST LINN, Ore., Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- To honor America's First Responders, Protalus will donate up to 100,000 pairs of insoles to local community heroes all September long. The "Buy One, Give One" program will provide a pair of insoles to Firefighters, Emergency Medical Service Providers, Military Members, and Police Officers.
"The duties of first responders go unnoticed until the moment arrives for them to protect and serve," said Chris Buck, Protalus Chief Executive Officer. "Having donated over 3,000 pairs of insoles in and around Portland to First Responders throughout the years, we discovered a need to give back. These Americans are on their feet every day, supporting our local communities."
Approximately 55 percent of firefighters in the United States are volunteers and one-third of the states rely on volunteer EMS agencies for 911 response and transport. Wages for many of the nation's First Responders are low on average and access to essential equipment is typically lacking. While shoe insoles may not be the first thing on the list of must-have purchases, long shifts in heavy-duty work boots can cause fatigue and discomfort. The physical demands of their responsibilities deserve support, alignment, and comfort.
For every customer insole purchase, a pair will be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis for verified First Responders. First Responders and Military Personnel are encouraged to sign up at Protalus.com/first-responder to request a pair of insoles and get more information.
Giving back to American hometowns is important to Protalus. First Responders are the heartbeat of our local communities. "We hope that the public will respond and be as passionate about supporting First Responders as we are."
