DICK’S Sporting Goods supports number of winter athletes on their quest to be part of Team USA

PITTSBURGH, 2017-Sep-20 — /EPR Retail News/ — DICK’S Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS), the official sporting goods retail sponsor of Team USA, announced today (September 19, 2017) its roster of winter U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Contenders that are being supported by the Company through flexible employment or sponsorship agreements.

Headlining the roster of 41 U.S. Winter Olympic and Paralympic Contenders are Team USA hopefuls figure skater Ashley Wagner and women’s hockey goalie Alex Rigsby. In addition to serving as an ambassador for the Contenders program, Rigsby is employed as a DICK’S Store Associate as she trains for Team USA in the lead up to the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. Rigsby credits the Contender program as the first job that has provided the flexibility to accommodate her intense training schedule, and hopes the program can generate awareness of the financial need of many U.S. Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls.

“This program provides an amazing opportunity to athletes like me who need assistance to fund our dreams of playing for Team USA,” said Rigsby. “I’ve really enjoyed working at DICK’S Sporting Goods and helping customers select the gear they need to enjoy the sports they love. It’s been a really rewarding experience.”

The Contenders are offered flexible work schedules and competitive compensation, allowing them to devote the necessary time for training to be part of Team USA at future Olympic or Paralympic Games. For the winter 2017-2018 season, 41 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls from ten different sports are participating in the program, currently working in 24 stores across 17 states.

“As a longtime supporter of athletes at all levels, DICK’S is extremely proud to support U.S. Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls in a way that makes a truly meaningful difference in their ability to pursue their Team USA dreams,” said Scott Hudler, Senior Vice President and CMO, DICK’S Sporting Goods. “We know that flexibility in work schedule that gives our Contenders the time and funding to train and compete is critical to their ability to represent our country at the highest level, and we are incredibly happy to be able to provide that.”

DICK’S announced the Contenders program in February 2015, and to-date has employed or sponsored over 300 Contenders training to make Team USA. In 2016, more than 15 percent of athletes enrolled in the Company’s program went on to represent Team USA at the Olympic or Paralympic Games in Rio. Those 42 athletes brought home a total of 23 Olympic and Paralympic medals (11 gold, 8 silver and 4 bronze).

“DICK’S Sporting Goods’ commitment to Team USA through their sponsorship of the USOC and the Contenders program is making a real impact for those striving to achieve their Olympic and Paralympic dreams,” said Lisa Baird, USOC Chief Marketing Officer. “We are thrilled that this program continues to grow and we are proud that DICK’S is a part of the USOC family of partners.”

DICK’S Sporting Goods recognized with ESPN’s Corporate Community Impact Award for its Sports Matter initiative

DICK’S and the DICK’S Foundation Honored for Commitment to  Helping Save Youth Sports at ESPN’s Sports Humanitarian of the Year Awards

PITTSBURGH, 2017-Jul-17 — /EPR Retail News/ — DICK’S Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation, which supports DICK’S charitable and philanthropic activities, were honored last night at ESPN’s third annual Sports Humanitarian of the Year Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.  DICK’S received ESPN’s Corporate Community Impact Award for their Sports Matter initiative. Developed in 2014, Sports Matter provides equipment, uniforms and monetary donations to youth sports teams in need, and raises awareness surrounding the decline in funding for youth sports nation-wide.

The ESPN Corporate Community Impact Award recognizes a corporation that uses the power of sports to help advance a social issue, cause or community organization. DICK’S was honored for their long-standing commitment to sports and actions in helping to save youth sports.

“It’s a tremendous honor for us to receive this important award from ESPN” said Lauren Hobart, DICK’S Sporting Goods President & President of the DICK’S Foundation. “Youth sports are in trouble.  Studies tell us that billions of dollars have been cut from youth sports in recent years and 60% of children must now pay a fee to play. Yet sports are one of the best youth development tools that exist, so we’re working hard to reverse this frightening trend.”

DICK’S and The DICK’S Foundation have been working to combat this crisis and since 2014 have pledged more than $50 million to support teams and leagues in need, while working to raise awareness of the importance of youth sports across the country through the Sports Matter campaign. To date, Sports Matter has saved thousands of youth sports teams and given hundreds of thousands of kids the opportunity to play.

In 2016, DICK’S integrated Sports Matter into its major initiatives and campaigns, including the creation of the Sport Emmy nominated documentary Keepers of the Game, by supporting over 200 Team USA Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls through flexible employment, and the development of a ‘Green Laces’ campaign which donates $2 from every sale back to youth sports.

DICK’S Sporting Goods launches its own line of technology-rich compression apparel brand

Building off the success of brands such as CALIA by Carrie Underwood, Field & Steam and Walter Hagen, DICK’S continues to expand its private brand offering

 

PITTSBURGH, PA, 2017-Apr-21 — /EPR Retail News/ — DICK’S Sporting Goods announced today the launch of Second Skin, a complete line of technology-rich compression apparel developed by DICK’S Sporting Goods for both male and female athletes, available exclusively online at SecondSkin.com and dicks.com.

Second Skin is designed for high-intensity athletes who are constantly striving to meet and surpass individual fitness goals. These athletes are an underserved and growing population, ranging from long distance runners and triathletes, to functional fitness and high intensity interval training enthusiasts, to obstacle course racers and anyone who enjoys intense training or competitions. The new compression line supports athletes throughout their fitness journey – from training, to competition and beyond.

“We saw an opportunity to better serve our customers by designing and building products for a specific type of athlete who participates in sports with unique demands like obstacle course racing and functional fitness and puts incredible pressure on his or her body to perform at its peak,” said Ryan Eckel, Vice President of Brand at DICK’S Sporting Goods. “We created Second Skin to provide these athletes with gear constructed to support them every step of the way.” 

The exclusive private brand follows suit with other DICK’S Sporting Goods brands such as CALIA by Carrie Underwood and Field & Stream, bringing premium high-quality products to consumers at more desirable price points.

Second Skin has enlisted more than 200 athletes who are well respected in their individual fitness communities and include local fitness trainers and mentors, including three elite athletes who compete on a national stage:

Hunter McIntyre – elite Spartan Race athlete, Obstacle Course Racing Champion and Spin instructor

Christmas Abbott – CrossFit Games Athlete and Best-Selling Author

Ryan Hall – Olympic marathon runner and American Record Holder

“More and more high intensity athletes are looking for an athletic brand that truly understands our mentality,” said Second Skin ambassador, Christmas Abbott. “We think, train and perform differently, and want to connect with a brand that values functionality and performance above all, just like we do.”

Throughout the year, Second Skin customers will see social and digital content from these athletes who will illustrate how they rely on Second Skin while training to perform at their best.

Key pieces of the line include a variety of compression tops and bottoms for men and women, ranging in price from $40 to $70. The complete line combines fit, function, sophistication and higher-grade compression technology to support high-intensity training athletes in reaching their next level. Customers will see advanced muscle zoning technology, and the product is designed to move with the body.

Second Skin is available immediately online only at SecondSkin.com and dicks.com with an expanded assortment of products available in-store and online later this year.

For more information, please visit SecondSkin.com. Customers can also follow the latest news from Second Skin by liking the Second Skin Facebook page – Second Skin Gear – or following the Instagram handle – @SecondSkinGear.

DICK’S Sporting Goods launches Sports Matter green shoelace movement as part of its fight against youth sports funding crisis

Dexter Fowler, Jennie Finch, Isaiah Thomas and others have joined the sporting goods retailer to support the sale of green laces with two dollars from every purchase going to The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation’s Sports Matter program

PITTSBURGH, 2016-Nov-22 — /EPR Retail News/ — DICK’S Sporting Goods, a leading omni-channel sporting goods retailer, announced today (November 21, 2016) the launch of a Sports Matter green shoelace movement as part of its fight against the youth sports funding crisis.

Billions of dollars have been cut from youth sports funding in recent years and 27% of U.S. public high schools may not have any sports programs by 2020(1). DICK’S and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation have pledged more than $50 million to support teams and raise awareness of this issue since 2014, and to date, have helped nearly 2,000 youth sports teams.

Those who want to be part of the movement to help save youth sports can purchase Sports Matter green shoelaces at any DICK’S store nationwide or on dicks.com. DICK’S will donate two dollars from every shoelace sale to The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation’s Sports Matter program, which is dedicated to helping to save underfunded youth sports programs. Laces are available in oval and flat varieties and in various lengths.

Customers can show their support socially as well by taking a picture of their casual or athletic shoes or cleats laced up with green shoelaces and use #SaveYouthSports.

“At DICK’S, we know the holiday season is a special time of year where people are inspired to make a difference,” said Lauren Hobart, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, DICK’S Sporting Goods and President of The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation. “This holiday, we want to give our customers a meaningful way to feel like they’re part of something bigger – part of the movement that we’re leading to fight the youth sports funding crisis in our country.”

In addition to purchasing green laces, customers can also be a part of this movement by donating to The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation when checking-out in-store during the holiday season now through January 8. All money donated will help to raise awareness for and support underfunded youth sports programs. For more information, visit SportsMatter.org.

To highlight the benefits of youth sports for kids across the country, DICK’S has profiled the Fifth Ward Saints football organization located in the Fifth Ward outside of Houston, Texas in a short film. The film shows the importance of football in the lives of generations of Houston-area kids. As a surprise, the film ends with The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation donating a $100,000 grant, including new equipment, as a gift that matters to these kids. The grant will ensure the program is able to operate through the year 2020. To view the film, please visit SportsMatter.com/greenlaces.

DICK’S Community program is also partnering with 10 youth organizations this holiday season. Young athletes from these organizations will get to shop with local sports heroes and receive the Sports Matter shoelaces to join the green shoelace movement. Cam Newton, Larry Fitzgerald and Joe Thomas are among the athletes who may participate in these special holiday shopping events.

“We are pleased to continue the trend of improving our portfolio quality and mitigating our anchor risk,” said PREIT CEO Joseph F. Coradino. “As we strengthen the core of our portfolio, as we’ve done at Viewmont, we can see the path to achieving sales of $500 per square foot is well within our reach.”

DICK’S Sporting Goods is the largest U.S.-based full-line omni-channel sporting goods retailer offering a broad assortment of brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment.Field & Stream is a specialty retail concept carrying the best brands to meet the evolving needs of hunters, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. Both retailers will serve the needs of Northeastern PA shoppers traveling through the area on their way to the nearby Pocono resorts, a top destination for sporting, hunting and fishing enthusiasts.

Viewmont Mall features over 90 specialty shops and stores. As of December 31, 2015, the center’s sales per square foot were $445 and its total occupancy rate was over 99%, classifying it in the top segment of PREIT’s core growth malls.

DICK’S Sporting Goods launches its first Team USA-themed TV and digital advertisements

  • New creative tells the story of the sacrifice and dedication of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls participating in the retailer’s in-store employment program

PITTSBURGH, 2016-Apr-12 — /EPR Retail News/ — DICK’S Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS), the largest U.S.-based, full-line omni-channel sporting goods retailer, today launched its first Team USA-themed TV and digital advertisements as part of its sponsorship of the U.S. Olympic Committee.

The inspiring creative celebrates the journey and sacrifice made by Team USA hopefuls in their pursuit of their Olympic and Paralympic dreams. Campaign elements tell the story of the grit and determination shown by five Team USA hopefuls who work in DICK’S Sporting Goods stores as part of the Company’s Contenders program, which provides flexible work schedules and competitive compensation to qualified athletes.

The athletes featured in the commercial are a small portion of DICK’S roster of nearly 200 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Contenders across 35 sports who are currently employed at 89 stores in 32 states. Athletes featured in the 60-second commercial include:

  • Jon Jones (Track & Field – Shot Put) – Jones, who works in the team sports and fitness departments at a DICK’S Sporting Goods in Amherst, N.Y. is the reigning NCAA Champion in shot put. The recent University of Buffalo graduate became the school’s first-ever NCAA track and field national champion. Since graduating, the 24-year-old has turned his attention to international competition where he placed fifth at the 2015 Pan-American Games in Toronto and earned a gold medal at NACAC Senior Area Championships in Costa Rica.
  • Jessica Medina (Wrestling) – The 29-year-old Medina is currently ranked as the number three woman in the U.S. in her weight class. Born in Chicago and raised in California, she has brought home several podium finishes in U.S. and international competition. She works at an Arizona-based DICK’S Sporting Goods.
  • Desiree Miller (Wheelchair Basketball) – 28-year-old Desiree Miller has already represented Team USA at the London 2012 Paralympic Games where she and the women’s wheelchair basketball team placed fourth. When she isn’t training or competing with her team, she works in the team sports department at a Madison, Wis. DICK’S Sporting Goods.
  • Laura Ryan (Diving) – Laura Ryan works at a Georgia DICK’S Sporting Goods while she trains to represent Team USA in Rio. The 23-year-old University of Georgia graduate has won several collegiate and national titles and plans to attend physician’s assistant school on top of working, training and competing.
  • N’aithan Scott (Track & Field – Hurdles) – Scott, a U.S. Olympic hopeful in the 110m hurdles, works at an Arizona-based DICK’S Sporting Goods. In addition to his grueling training each day, he is a father of two and regularly volunteers to help teach children the importance of nutrition and exercise.

“Each and every one of these athletes is truly an inspiration and living proof of how sports make people better,” said Lauren Hobart, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, DICK’S Sporting Goods. “Telling their stories and providing an opportunity for our customers to get incredible advice and insight from them in our stores is something we’re proud to do.”

Over the course of the next few months, DICK’S will also debut numerous pieces of original content that tell the stories of more Contenders and give a deeply personal and intimate look at what it takes to make Team USA.

“As a competing athlete, it really means a lot to me what DICK’S is doing for Team USA Contenders. The ability to have a job that works around my training schedule is absolutely amazing,” said 2012 U.S. Paralympian and DICK’S Sporting Goods Contender Desiree Miller. “There is so much hard work and sacrifice that goes into earning a gold medal and working for a company that understands that is really special to an athlete like me.”

To supplement the support that DICK’S is providing to this current group of Contenders, the DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation has also announced a commitment to support the next generation of Contenders.

For every Olympic and Paralympic Games medal that Team USA wins in Rio, the DICK’S Foundation will donate $1,000 to select youth sports organizations who are part of the USOC family to ensure future Contenders are able to play the sports they love. Each of the DICK’S Sporting Goods Contenders will have the opportunity to select an organization that will benefit from this program. A full list of benefitting organizations will be announced at a later date.

“Providing support for future Contenders is something that fully aligns with our brand beliefs and community-focused efforts around youth sports,” said Hobart, who also serves as President of the DICK’S Foundation. “Since its inception in 2014, the DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation’s Sports Matter program has provided a platform to address the youth sports funding crisis and show just how important youth sports are to our country. This pledge to donate $1,000 for every medal that Team USA wins at the Olympic and Paralympic Games is an exciting extension of those efforts.”

The new advertisements and newly announced financial commitment are just the beginning of a full set of marketing activations and original content from DICK’S leading up to Team USA competing in the Olympic and Paralympic Games. DICK’S will also release a documentary later this summer that provides an inside look into the journey of Contender Kerri Walsh Jennings as she chases her fourth gold medal for Team USA during the 2016 Olympic Games. Additional original content will be announced over the next few months.

To house all of this content, and to serve as an online home for the Contenders program, DICK’S has launched dicks.com/TheContenders. This website will provide fans with profiles of the Team USA Contenders, updates on their Olympic and Paralympic Games journey and track the Team USA medal count and corresponding donation amount to the various, benefiting youth sports organizations.
