(Las Vegas, NV – 2008) Skullcandy, a developer of core audio products, has announced their 2007 donation of $36,723 to industry non-profit, Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC). Their announcement was made public at this year’s 2008 SIA, making their contribution the largest one-time donation the organization has yet to receive.

“Boarding for Breast Cancer is something we’ve been a part of for awhile and every year we continue to find their mission more important and more relevant,” stated Rick Alden, Founder of Skullcandy. “This organization makes such a difference to the lives of so many and we’re thrilled to be able to give back to them and help them out every year.”
