Lonoke, Arkansas – May 13, 2022 – Remington Ammunition along with sister brand Federal Ammunition is proudly sending a check of $100,000 to support crisis relief efforts in the war-torn country of Ukraine. A t-shirt campaign to support Ukrainian refugees generated a great response, with proceeds from the sales reaching the $100K milestone in less than two months.
“This campaign and the tremendous response exceeded our expectations, forcing several re-orders of the t-shirts,” said Jason Vanderbrink, President of Remington, Federal, CCI, and Speer Ammunition. "I’m so proud of our loyal customers for being willing to pitch in and support the people of Ukraine who are suffering because of the horrors of war. Our ammo brands are proud to do our part.”
The t-shirts, available at www.remington.com/merchandise/apparel/ and www.federalpremium.com/merchandise/apparel/ features the call out from Ukraine’s president needing ammunition to assist in their country’s defense.
The t-shirts continue to receive a tremendous amount of support and are selling out quickly. If the desired shirt sells out, consumers can sign up to receive a notification of when the t-shirt has been restocked.
The $100,000 donation will go to support the humanitarian relief efforts through Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund - GlobalGiving. Remington, along with sister ammunition brands CCI, Speer, and Federal, also donated a total of one million rounds to the Ukraine armed forces.
