Hawaii shoppers decide on Patagonia's $4K grant

Advertiser Staff

Clothing retailer Patagonia said it will give local residents a chance to decide which environmental organization will receive a $4,000 grant by allowing them to cast ballots at its Hale'iwa store through July 19.

Shoppers can vote for the North Shore Community Land Trust, KAHEA, Earthjustice, the Defend Oahu Coalition or the Sierra Club of Hawaii, with the grant being announced in August. The campaign is part of the company's environmental grants program under which Patagonia contributes 1 percent of annual sales to environmental organizations.
