For 15 years Recover has been a staple in the running industry by bringing sustainability to the start line, storefront and beyond, and has been on a mission to “Help Earth Recover.” Part of these eco-focused efforts include its annual "Earth Month Fundraiser" in April that is geared towards raising critical dollars for environmentally focused organizations doing the front line work for the planet.

This monthlong program utilizes Recover's Print-On-Demand capabilities to further reduce the environmental impact of excess or unused inventory. The Earth Month Fundraiser also provides a merchandise solution that eliminates the need for managing an in-house program to the participating organizations. Recover is able to custom print, ship, and manage orders for environmental groups, giving them more time and resources to dedicate directly to their initiatives.

"Recover's Earth Month Fundraiser is a simple and efficient way for the East Coast Greenway Alliance to engage our audience, extend our merch program without having to carry excess inventory or fulfill orders and reinforce our commitment to our environment by using eco-friendly apparel,” comments John Martin, senior director of  marketing and communications for the East Coast Greenway Alliance.
