Giving Back: The Sierra Club Foundation & WCSC
At Windy City, we believe in getting out there, experiencing the world, seeking new and exciting challenges...and using our health and fitness to be the people we were meant to be. We also believe in giving back, paying forward and being socially responsible.
We believe so strongly in this that we’ve partnered with Merchant Giving Project so that a portion of every credit card transaction will be donated to The Sierra Club Foundation, an organization dedicated to safeguarding our planet so future generations will have an “out there” left to explore.
Founded in 1960, The Sierra Club Foundation is a public charity governed by an independent board of directors that promotes efforts to educate and empower people to protect and improve the natural and human environment.
Their Goals:
- Solve the climate crisis primarily through a successful transition to a resource-efficient, clean energy economy that better serves people and nature;
- Secure protections for public lands and waters, promote healthy ecosystems and communities, and fight for clean air and water;
- Expand opportunities for more people to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet by supporting programs and policies that reach across economic, cultural, and community lines to get people outdoors; and
- Build a diverse, inclusive environmental movement that reflects and represents today’s American public, and prioritizes important connections between environmental health and social justice.
