The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) says that it raised over €6,500 during the recent ISPO MUNICH show to support projects in 2012. The nonprofit organization collected €5,200 through the sale at its own booth of smoothies, sponsored by Nikwax, and the sale of goody bags, with which participants could pick up various items from EOCA members’ stands. A further €1,400 was generously donated to the association by the ISPO trade fair itself – raising the money through donations for drinks and snacks at the Snow Ice & Rock Summit during the four days of the show. EOCA has thus come a step closer to its aim of raising one million euros under its six-year-old program. All the funds collected at shows and through membership fees go directly into conservation projects. ISPO has vowed to raise more money for EOCA in 2013.
