A Case for Giving (Briggs & Riley)

February 1, 2018 By Amelia Old 1 Comment

Luggage Trade-In Initiative Encourages Consumers to Donate Cases to Charity

2018 marks the fourth year of the Briggs & Riley ‘Case for Giving’ program which supports communities throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.  Between February 1st-28th 2018 receive a $100 credit when you bring in a gently used Briggs & Riley rolling bag, or a $50 credit for a gently used non Briggs rolling bag to be used towards the purchase of a new Briggs & Riley rolling bag.

Your gently used luggage will be donated to local charities benefiting more than 100 partners including Make a Wish, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, as well as foster homes, women’s shelters, and coalitions for the homeless.

This is the first year the program has made it’s way to the U.K. “We are thrilled to mark the fourth consecutive year of our ‘A Case for Giving’ event by expanding this initiative to the U.K.,” said Briggs & Riley CEO Richard Krulik. “Last year more than 1,500 pieces of gently used wheeled luggage were given to those in need and we are excited to grow the program globally in 2018 to further our commitment to give back.”

 

Participating stores can be found HERE.
