CRATER LAKE, Ore. -- Just in time
for the holidays, Pendleton Woolen Mills has developed an
exclusive online offer that allows you to purchase one of their
renowned national park blankets and make a donation to the
Crater Lake National Park Trust at the same time.
Through a special partnership
with Pendleton Woolen Mills, when you purchase any Pendleton
national park blanket through the Trust's website:
www.nationalparks.org/holiday/crater, half of the purchase price
will be donated to the Crater Lake National Park Trust to
support their non-profit educational programs.
"This online promotion not only
benefits the Trust, but it offers the public a great opportunity
for a memorable and unique gift for family and friends while
supporting Crater Lake," states Robert Christnacht, pendleton
blanket division manager.
Since the early 1900s, Pendleton
Woolen Mills has honored America's greatest national treasures
with a collection of distinctive park blankets. Pendleton offers
seven national park blankets, each with a distinctive design,
which emphasizes the unique features of the park.
Although there is no time limit
on the blanket offer, Executive Director of the Crater Lake
National Park Trust Sandra Claypool adds that online orders must
be placed by December 8th if they are to arrive by Christmas.
Claypool reiterated that for the blanket purchase to credit the
Trust they must be made online via the Trust's website:
www.nationalparks.org/holiday/crater.
The Crater Lake National Park
Trust, a committee of the National Park Foundation, was
established in 2002 following the Crater Lake Centennial. The
Trust is the park's private philanthropic partner that raises
funds for educational, recreational, and scientific programs. It
is managed by an Oregon-based Board of Trustees. To learn more
