Vans Brings People Together For Checkerboard Day To Help Out Communities
Working together always makes things better.
Vans is bringing together their Vans Family to celebrate Vans Checkerboard Day 2021. This special day will take place today on November 18, 2021 to regenerate many communities across the world. Together with this year’s partner DoSomething.org, Vans would like to inspire fans to take part in local and digital activities – with the purpose to build vibrant, inclusive and rejuvenate public spaces through arts and culture.
Vans will be supporting 15 different charities around the world by donating $1 million. On top fans across the world will also have the ability to support the regional charities by helping to raise additional donations. They can do so through the Vans Family app by donating loyalty points in support for a monetary donation. 100 percent of proceeds will be donated to The Vans Checkerboard Fund at Tides Foundation.
