Houdini Sportswear Supports Sierra Club in Celebration of Earth Month

April 15, 2021

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – April 15, 2021 – The Swedish circular sportswear brand Houdini is supporting Sierra Club’s Team Sierra this April to celebrate Earth Month, helping to drive funds and create awareness around environmentalism and circular business.

Team Sierra is Sierra Club’s grassroots community fundraising program that encourages anyone to create a fundraiser by doing what they love. Members simply raise funds among their community by running, dancing, biking, hiking, baking, or even using upcoming celebrations like birthdays or weddings to ask for donations to help the planet.

Earth Month is Team Sierra’s biggest fundraiser. This year, Houdini will be providing a premium incentive, donating apparel to the first 100 participants to raise $100 or more. Those eligible will receive either a women’s Mono Air or men’s Outright Houdi.

“We admire all the work that Sierra Club does and are excited to be able to support their efforts in this way,” says Eva Karlsson, chief executive officer at Houdini. “Its commitment to keeping the great outdoors great and making it a safe and open space for all is fully aligned with what we do. Protecting our planet and all the life on it is a collaborative effort between businesses, NGOs, governments and all of us as individuals.”

Sierra Club will host a panel on Instagram Live with Houdini Sportswear on April 26 with Houdini’s CEO, Eva Karlsson. Sierra Club’s Outdoors For All Program campaign director Jackie Ostfeldt and two activists from within the field will discuss how to move from being inspired by nature to being inspired to take action.

Houdini’s commitment to sustainability is apparent, with its primary goal being to create genuine alternatives to linear consumption, using the Planetary Boundaries Assessment to guide its practice. As of 2021, 85% of its products are fully circular, intending to reach total circularity by 2022. Viewers can tune in to learn more about Houdini and its mission on @houdinisportswear at 9 am PST / 6 pm CEST).
