Boot Barn Supporting Troops with Socks for Soldiers Event

Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BOOT), America’s largest western and work wear retailer, is partnering with Operation: Care and Comfort to support active military troops serving overseas with a nationwide “Socks for Soldiers” event.

Boot Barn is committed to serving the service men and women stationed overseas and is excited to support these efforts with the Socks for Soldiers event in partnership with Operation: Care and Comfort. Customers can purchase and donate socks or other designated items at Boot Barn stores nationwide between November 2, 2017 and November 12, 2017. Boot Barn will collect donations nationwide, and with the support of Operation: Care and Comfort, distribute the donations in the form of individual care packages to the troops. Customers are also invited to write letters to the troops at their local Boot Barn store to be sent along with the packages. Boot Barn will donate a portion of the proceeds in the form of a financial contribution to Operation: Care and Comfort.

“The Boot Barn Team cares deeply about our troops overseas and we know that our customers do as well. Our Socks for Soldiers event is a great opportunity to bring our store teams together with the people in their communities to show support for our troops who are a long way from home,” said Jeffrey Scott Gomez, Vice President of Stores at Boot Barn. “We’re extremely proud to work with organizations like Operation: Care and Comfort which support our troops on a daily basis.”
