Family Group Refuses Burton Donations

by The Editors on October 16, 2008

Spectrum-1Thanks to Burton’s Love Line and Primo Line of snowboards a Vermont “community-based nonprofit organization with more than 38 years of experience” is going to refuse donations from the company this year, according to a story on WCAX.com.

Spectrum Youth and Family Services is rejecting donations from the company. Each year the “Burton Chill Program” provides homeless and at risk teens with free gear and lift tickets at Bolton Valley. . . . Administrators at Spectrum say they will not participate this year, because the company is producing products that go against Spectrum’s values.

Guess that’s just another cost of trying to be everything to everybody.
