As part of this initiative, the 'Keep It Wild' campaign includes "contributions from outdoor brands such as Cotopaxi and [YETI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinkware), which have developed limited-edition products like Cotopaxi lunchboxes and backpacks, along with YETI water bottles, t-shirts, and hats." The proceeds from these exclusive items will be donated directly to the Vital Ground Foundation to support its efforts in wildlife protection and habitat conservation. The Kodiak community, "including influencers, celebrities, athletes, and investors, is coming together to support the campaign." Chief Brand Officer Zac Efron, along with other notable figures, is helping to raise awareness and highlight the importance of the 'Keep It Wild' campaign's goals.
