Sawyer Products

Over a year ago I was introduced to entrepreneur and founder of outdoor solutions company Sawyer?, Kurt Avery. Hikers, campers, outdoor enthusiasts all know the Sawyer Products brand: it is top in its class. In our initial call Kurt shared so many incredible and fascinating stories of how the water filters his company produces have made a tremendous positive impact on the global challenge of accessible and clean drinking water. He wanted to share that story - along with his marketing and business acumen and expertise with the world…he needed guidance…and I said “absolutely - let’s get this book written and published”. We hired an excellent ghost writer in Andy Rogers and a top notch PR firm in KC Communications led by Kristin U. Cole and SaraBeth Evans and found a sharp publishing partner in Morgan James Book Publishing and **today** that book is released to the world! Kurt educates and inspires business leaders to maximize their earnings and implement a missional business model in his book, he shares: “This book is about giving and changing the world one life at a time. For the reader: you will be surprised that your business can do astronomically greater things than you can imagine when you think differently and when you have a big God.” CHECK THIS OUT! over the past decade, Sawyer has teamed up with 140 charities in 80 countries and impacted more than 28 million lives worldwide, donating 90% of its profits each year. The company established its charitable arm, The Sawyer Foundation, in 2021 to expand these efforts. Sawyer Think walks readers through more than 25 business strategies and tools that allow Sawyer to give away so much of its profit annually. Each chapter includes an explanation of a key business concept the Sawyer team has used to contribute to the company’s success and an example of the concept in action in the marketplace; real-life stories of the impact Sawyer and its partners have made around the world also display the practices in action. These stories serve as proof that thinking differently as a business leader is not just about earning more money—it is about how that money is used to change the lives of others. Here’s the best part about this book: ALL profits from Sawyer Think sales will be allocated to providing clean water access to the 2 billion people worldwide living without it. Congratulations Kurt! I’m so honored to be a part of sharing the story of Sawyer, your expertise, and how your faith in God drives everything you do. Thank you also to Tom Betts for the introduction and connection! #newbooknews #bookpublishing #sawyer #sawyerproducts #sawyerthink #publishingconsulting #adropofinkmaymakeamillionthink

Shorter days don’t stop the sun’s rays. Thanks, Chuck, for the reminder to protect ourselves by applying sunscreen no matter the season.

Over the weekend, our Tampa facility roared back to operation. In spite of dealing with post-hurricane issues at their own homes, our team members came in and got the job done, packing 20,000+ Sawyer Products water filtration kits for the American Red Cross. It’s not the first time we have done this?important work for Sawyer?in the United States and abroad. To learn more about Sawyer, see these links on their website?https://lnkd.in/eqXT9JWe?and?https://lnkd.in/eg4uN3AQ ? During this brutal hurricane season, we continue to think about our neighbors, team members and customers dealing with storm damage in North Carolina and Florida and are proud to be a part of helping our customer, Sawyer Products, in this important part of the recovery work. #hurricanerelief #sawyerproducts #contractpackaging #copacking

"I have never been so heartbroken and hopeful all at once. Thanks for being part of the hope. We were able to send out 900 filters in batches of 50 or less to relief groups throughout Western North Carolina and in places like Hot Springs, Marshall, Burnsville, Banner Elk, Boone, Chimney Rock, Rosman, Sylva, Black Mountain, Swannanoa and so many other communities. We couldn’t have done it without out drivers, volunteers, SAR contacts, and local community. I am beyond grateful." - Jennifer Pharr Davis update on Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Thank you to everyone involved in relief efforts for our mountain community, and please continue to choose kindness to yourself and those around you ?? #WNCStrong

Today, we have boots on the ground in Black Mountain, NC. Our veteran-led team is integrating with local community members and partnering with organizations like Water by Women to respond to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene by bringing clean water to those in need. Thanks to a generous donation from the Sawyer Foundation , we’ve just picked up 1,000 Sawyer Products 2-gallon gravity system water filters donated to Water by Women, flown in by private plane. These filters not only provide critical access to safe water but also greatly reduce plastic waste in communities already overwhelmed with debris and destruction. Residents are facing significant challenges—homes destroyed, lack of running water, and boil advisories while public systems are being restored. We’re not just handing out filters; we’re actively working alongside local organizations to provide training on their use and maintenance, ensuring sustainable clean water access. Each Sawyer filter can produce safe water for a group in as little as seven minutes and provides up to 100,000 gallons, enough for a small group or family. Our mission is to provide essential support to these communities on their road to recovery, helping them access safe water today and for the journey ahead. We invite you to follow our journey, share our mission, and help spread the word. Together, we can make a significant impact.

As someone who calls Asheville, NC home, I still don't have the words to explain the devastation Hurricane Helene has had on Western North Carolina. As the city of Asheville is assessing the damage and allocating emergency resources to people in need, there are still countless people trapped in the mountainous areas throughout the region. When the storm hit, it cut off all road access outside of the region. Local organizations and individual citizens stepped up immediately to get folks the items they needed and have continued to do so each day since. They know our community, they know what they need, and they have built trusting relationships with vulnerable populations that help significantly in these times. This morning, I found out that an Instagram post I shared with a friend leading resources out of his family's wedding venue business resulted in 40 water filtration systems from Sawyer Products being sent immediately to the area for distribution. This can literally save people's lives, as we're expected to be without water for weeks. We don't want a pat on the back, we want more resources to keep people in our community safe and healthy. If you work for a company that is looking for a way to directly help Western North Carolina, please reach out! I can put you directly in contact with trusted groups that are on the ground keeping our communities going. If you think the products you can source may not be a fit, reach out and I'll help you figure out if they could help people. If you're an individual looking to support relief efforts, I highly encourage you to look into supporting BeLoved Asheville: https://lnkd.in/ed55Fack or contribute to the Amazon wish list to keep the effort mentioned above going: https://lnkd.in/d5FGfDjY If you need some hope coming out of this, here's where you can find updates on my friend's distribution efforts — just one of the many citizens working tirelessly to help people right now: https://lnkd.in/eb-JVhtV #hurricanehelene #westernnc #asheville #WNC
