Mule Deer Foundation and Sportsman’s Warehouse Team Up for Mule Deer Conservation
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) and the fast-growing outdoor retail store company Sportsman’s Warehouse of Midvale, UT, have teamed up to help Mule Deer habitat.
Sportsman’s Warehouse has stepped up for mule deer and mule deer habitat once again by offering a free one-year membership to the Mule Deer Foundation for customers acquiring their Sportsman’s Warehouse credit card. They are also underwriting the Volunteer Hat for 2008 and the MDF banquet ticket form with a $10 off coupon valid at all Sportsman’s Warehouse stores.
MDF’s Director of Merchandise Ray Crow said, “Here we are another step forward for MDF growth and our ability to put more money on the ground for mule deer and their habitat.”
Sportsman’s Warehouse Vice President of Store Operations Jeremy Sage said, “MDF is on the edge of breaking major new conservation ground, and we want to be part of it.”
MDF’s CEO Miles Moretti added, “We cannot thank Sportsman’s Warehouse enough for their generous support over the years, and we look forward to many more projects where we can work together to benefit the magnificent mule deer.”
