We believe life is best spent connecting with the outdoors, which is why we're thrilled to partner with Defender again for their fourth annual Defender Service Awards Presented by Chase. As the returning sponsor of the Outdoor Accessibility and Education Award category, we've agreed to contribute twenty-five thousand dollars to the winning nonprofit, which will also receive an additional cash prize and a customized Defender 130. All told, Defender and partners will award a Defender 130 and twenty-five thousand dollars in cash to five different nonprofits in five different categories (Search and Rescue, Veterans Outreach, Community Service, Animal Welfare, and Outdoor Accessibility and Education). Do you know a nonprofit doing good in their community? The 2024 Defender Service Awards are now open to submissions.
