Costa to donate Vision Expo West profits to hurricane relief
Costa has committed to contribute all profits from orders placed at International Vision Expo West to the Red Cross hurricane relief efforts in response to hurricanes Harvey and Irma that hit Texas, Florida, Georgia and the Caribbean.
Costa is based in Daytona Beach, Fla., and many employees were affected by Hurricane Irma, the company said in a press release.
After Hurricane Harvey, Costa supported first responders in addition to sending more than 20,000 T-shirts to area shelters.
“Our Costa family extends from Texas to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and the Caribbean islands – they have all faced a devastating blow these past few weeks,” Holly Rush, CEO of Costa, said in the release. “The impact was felt here at home as well as by thousands of our customers, reps, partners and loyal consumers. We will be there for all our communities as they rebuild. Our efforts at Vision Expo are one way we can quickly rally together to bring help to where it’s needed most.”
