Storm Creek Supports HealthCare Workers with “HealthCareStrong” Signature Pullover

EAGAN, Minn. – (Jan. 24, 2022) –– Storm Creek, a leading supplier of premium, eco-friendly, outdoor-inspired apparel and outerwear, announced today it has launched a limited-time collection of quarter-zip pullovers and crewneck pullovers featuring a #HealthCareStrong design to recognize essential health care heroes working on the front lines of COVID-19.

“There is a health care burnout crisis in this country. We’re nearly two years into this pandemic and it seems we’re at the worst point ever,” said Teresa Fudenberg, Storm Creek CEO. “We want to do something to support these workers who are making continual sacrifices. It’s the least we can do.”

These specially designed items are being offered as a buy-one-GIVE-one promotion, available Jan. 24 through Feb. 14, 2022. The promotional garment options are Storm Creek’s top-selling Pacesetter quarter-zip and Sidekick crewneck pullovers ($55-$60 each) – perfect for any climate, indoors or out, or work-from-home attire. When the shopper purchases a featured garment for themselves, they will automatically receive a pop-up alert to order a second garment for their health care hero. Storm Creek will ship the hero garment for free, along with a personalized note from the giver. Multiple garments can be ordered, and the shopper will receive a pop-up alert each time the qualifying pullover is added to the cart.

The giver can purchase their Pacesetter or Sidekick pullover in any color available on Storm Creek’s web site. The free pullover for the health care hero comes in navy or dark heather gray and features the #HealthCareStrong design. If the giver also wants the #HealthCareStrong design on their first garment, they check a box so the HealthCare logo will be added to both items. All garments come in both men’s and women’s sizing (men’s sizing ranges from S-4X and women’s sizing ranges from XS-3X).

“We wanted to do something to lift the spirits of stressed-out frontline workers who have been making continual sacrifices to help the rest of us,” said Fudenberg. “We selected our softest, best-selling pullovers for this special offer -- they ‘scream’ comfort, plus they’re such high-quality, very versatile, and look great.”

Storm Creek launched a similar initiative to honor all essential frontline workers in April 2020. The company delivered over 900 free pullovers to heroes in 33 states and Washington, D.C. Over 50% of the recipients were in the healthcare industry. “It all began as a conversation with my women business owner colleagues in the first months of COVID-19. We challenged each other to find unique ways to make a positive impact. We never expected to have such an overwhelming response. It shows how much people really band together to support one another in tough times,” Fudenberg said.
