Amid peak fire season, Coors Banquet has launched the national Protect Our Protectors program that benefits firefighters. Due to climate change, temperatures have increased in the United States, resulting in more devastating and destructive wildfires. This has put a serious strain on Wildland Firefighters, and Coors Banquet is continuing its longstanding mission to protect the "heroes in yellow" with its new Protect Our Protectors program.
The Coors Banquet's Protect Our Protectors limited-edition stubby bottles proceeds are now available with proceeds going to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation and other local firefighter organizations across the country. In addition, the beer brand also joined forces with Brixton to launch a Protect Our Protectors capsule collection with proceeds also going to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.
"Wildfires are an increasing problem, and they don't just affect the West. We're expanding our efforts nationwide to protect our protectors – the brave few who run toward the fire, not away from it," says Marcelo Pascoa, Vice President of Marketing for the Coors Family of Brands. "Over the past eight years, we have donated more than two million dollars to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. It's important we recognize the sacrifices they make."
