Community First Foundation -Aurora Relief Fund

A check was presented in the amount of $559,400 to the Aurora Victim Relief Fund at Community First Foundation on August 22nd. Five dollars per pair of shoes sold online and at all Colorado stores during the week of July 23 was donated by Crocs to the Aurora Victim Relief Fund. The fundraising idea came from Crocs CEO John McCarvel who wanted to do something for the victims and the families of the tragic theater shooting that took place in Aurora, Colo., on July 20. We thank our customers for helping us reach this amount for the families.
