On the opening morning of The PPAI Expo in Las Vegas, leaders from City of Industry-based supplier Sweda (PPAI 113914, S11) presented a $100,000 check to Dan Nevins, founder of the Warrior Spirit Retreat and its 2019 Basecamp Brand Ambassador. To date, Sweda has donated over $400,000 in monies and products to support the Warrior Spirit Retreat.

Sweda also announced Basecamp’s new partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project with this year’s commitment to donate $100,000 and two percent of wholesale sales at retail.

The presentation was made by CEO Jim Hagan, CAS; Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Kellie Claudio; and Vice President of Finance Ginalin Tan.
