We in the outdoor industry are more than just associates and friends who share a common love for the outdoors. We are a family. As such, we stick together not only in good times, but in bad, lending a helping hand to one another when a burden becomes too heavy to bear alone.

One of our family, outdoor writer and photographer Bob Humphrey, recently suffered a severe injury to his right eye. He has already been through two major eye surgeries and is facing one to three more in the immediate future. In addition to permanently impaired vision and potential loss of the eye, this accident has left Bob with a considerable and continually growing pile of medical expenses, while also significantly limiting his ability to work.

Folks have been asking how they can rally around Bob and his family - his wife, Jane and their two children - during this difficult time as he recovers from this debilitating injury. You may make a monetary donation to the family or may donate product to the Bob Humphrey Auction.
