Examiner.com – Featuring Osprey’s Support of Minneapolis Panjshir Tour – September 1st, 2011
September 18th, 2011
From my own involvement with the Minneapolis Panjshir Tour coming up October 8th, I’m seeing first-hand that companies do in fact have a conscience and their generosity goes epic distances. Osprey, LIN socks, Vasque, Overland Equipment, Aircraft Demolition, Polar Bottle and Timbuk2 all believe enough in a cause to sponsor a bike ride that benefits women and children in Afghanistan (if you ride a bike, your muscles and sweat equity are both needed and appreciated!).
So to companies like, Osprey LIN socks, Vasque, Overland Equipment, Aircraft Demolition, Polar Bottle and Timbuk2, I thank you again for coming on board to support the inaugural Minneapolis Panjshir Tour. To Sierra Designs, Terramar, Clif Bar, Manzella, Sierra Trading Post, Outdoor Research, Sole, Chaco, Merrell, and FRS, I thank you, and countless others thank you, for always keeping your radars open and on.

Outside’s “Best Places to Work” project celebrates the innovative companies setting a new standard for a healthy work-life balance. The list was compiled with the help of the Outdoor Industry Association and Best Companies Group. The year-long selection process began with an outreach effort that identified a wide range of non-profit and for-profit organizations with at least 15 employees working in the United States. Participating companies were then sent confidential employee-satisfaction surveys and employer-questionnaires to collect information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives, and community outreach programs.
