BOWTECH'S SUCCESSFUL TRIBUTE PROGRAM TO CONTINUE FOR 2007
First launched in October 2005, the Tribute featured cutting edge technology that has become one of BowTech's finest and most sought after bows.
Since the bow's debut, BowTech has contributed a portion of the proceeds from each Tribute sold to the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). Each year, this non-profit Veteran Service Organization offers comfort, support and assistance to hundreds of American families who face the tragedy of losing a loved one serving in the armed forces, for more information visit www.taps.org.
To date, BowTech has donated more than $72,000 to the TAPS organization. A Tribute is more than a word or name. It's a core value that guides action. Therefore, in a tribute to the men and women serving in our armed forces, and to recognize their great sacrifice, BowTech will continue to contribute a portion of proceeds from the sale of every Tribute to TAPS throughout 2007.
"We have been blessed with the honor to provide assistance to the TAPS organization," shared Gene Shands, BowTech's VP of Marketing. "It is our duty to support our military men and women. As our business grows, God has provided the resources for us to help families who have made the ultimate sacrifice."
"The donations we receive from BowTech have allowed TAPS to create a community that facilitates the healing process for the parents, spouses, fiancées, friends and children of our fallen heroes. The lives of these individuals, while never fully whole, are infinitely stronger because of the TAPS family and BowTech," shared Bonnie Carroll, TAPS Widow and Executive Director.
BowTech manufactures and distributes the world's finest compound bows and archery equipment. Founded in 1999, BowTech's corporate offices and manufacturing facilities are located on the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon. Today, BowTech divisions include WaterDog Surface Technologies formed in December 2003 and Diamond Archery acquired in September 2004.
