Deckers’ aid package includes Uggs for healthworkers

10/04/2020
Sheepskin boot brand Ugg and parent group Deckers have donated $1 million to COVID-19 pandemic relief efforts, through monetary and product donations.

The group has donated funds to NYC Health + Hospitals and Ugg products to hotels that have opened rooms to healthcare workers.

Through Instagram, it will give 500 pairs of slippers to US-based healthcare workers each week for a month.

It has also set up the Santa Barbara Better Together Fund to support the area the group has been headquartered for almost 50 years.

Dave Powers, CEO of Deckers Brands, said: "Our hearts are with our friends, colleagues, customers and those on the frontlines during this pandemic. The newly launched Better Together initiative aims to deliver relief, support and comfort to those most in need. We are in this together."
