PF Flyers is joining forces with legendary Boston-based youth development organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, for the first philanthropic partnership for the brand. To kick off the partnership, PF Flyers is donating $25,000 to the organization to send more than 25 members to Celtics Camp this summer. This impactful gift will be used for camp registration, clothing, and gear, and any other supplies members may need for their camp experience. The brand is also outfitting every member attending camp with a new pair of PF Flyers.
"I knew from the moment I purchased PF Flyers that I wanted the brand to have a bigger impact on the Boston community than it ever had. I've always been passionate about giving back to kids and families, especially in my own backyard, and our newest partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston is the perfect way to further our goal of inspiring people to dream bigger," said Executive Chairwoman and Owner Kassia Davis. In addition to the new partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, Kassia remains active with the New Balance charitable foundation and the West End House Boys and Girls Club.
The brand is committed to continuing to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston throughout the upcoming year and beyond, working closely with leaders at the organization to continually identify areas where PF Flyers and its resources can be most impactful.
"Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston is thrilled to partner with PF Flyers, a female-owned sports brand, and one that understands the importance of investing in our city's youth to create equal opportunity," said Robert Lewis, Jr., Nicholas President, and CEO. "I look forward to our work together, and what better way to kick off our partnership than to provide our members the opportunity to participate in Celtics Basketball Camp this summer. As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, physical activity for our young people remains more critical than ever."
Acquired from New Balance by Kassia Davis in July 2021, PF Flyers officially relaunched in December 2021.
