Social media and social responsibility unite today as Spyder pledges to raise $1000 for the Wounded Warrior Project by reaching 10,000 members on their Facebook page by the end of July. “Friends” of Spyder will be supporting a great organization while also joining a community of ski enthusiasts with a passion for product and a love for the sport.

The iconic ski apparel brand has teamed with WWP, a non-profit organization that honors and empowers severely injured service members, to provide the funds toward a ski trip for veteran soldiers and their families to enjoy.

To support the cause, please log onto www.facebook.com/spyderactivesports by July 31, 2010 and “friend” the brand. Check back often for updates and photos of the trip.
