Orangewood Foundation

Grateful for another Vantastic day! This season of giving, we’re proud to share the success of our 2nd annual Turkey Trot for Tees at #VansHQ, sponsored by the Van Doren Run Club! This associate-led running group spearheaded an incredible event that brought our community together to make an impact. Whether running, walking, or even skating, participants helped Vans donate one T-shirt for every lap completed to the Orangewood Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth in our community. With a total of 825 laps completed, we’re thrilled to see the positive impact and can’t wait to do it all again next year. #GiveVans VF Corporation
