Associates at Eddie Bauer give more than time. In
2000, associates across the U.S. and Canada pledged
portions of their paychecks, and held car washes,
golf tournaments, and many other events to help
raise more than $1.8 million for the annual Associate
Giving Campaign. This event provides significant
funding for services to the less fortunate in our com-
munities. We believe in the power of volunteerism,
and we give associates paid time off to perform a
special service for the organization or event of their
choice.
From our CEO's dedicated involvement in the
regional United Way through our sales associates who
build homes for Habitat for Humanity or walk in
marathons to raise funds for AIDS or MS research,
Eddie Bauer may be making a difference in your
neighborhood.
