[Date] Mackey J. McDonald, Chairman, President & CEO VF Corporation 105 Corporate Center Blvd. Greensboro, NC 27408 Dear Mr. McDonald: I am writing on behalf of The Canadian Horse Defense Coalition and horse lovers worldwide in protest of the Omak Stampede and World Famous Suicide Race, and your company's continued corporate sponsorship of it. ANY sponsorship of the Omak Stampede is a sponsorship of the Suicide Race, as they are both managed and funded under the non-profit license of the Omak Stampede, Inc. Omak Stampede Inc.'s web site lists the 'Omak Stampede PRCA Rodeo and Suicide Race' taking place at 7pm, August 11-14. The official merchandise, logos and letterhead of the Omak Stampede feature the Suicide Race. The press release announcing results of the 2004 Suicide Race is issued by Omak Stampede, Inc. on paper with header that reads Omak Stampede, Inc., a drawing of horses running down a steep cliff and adjacent text that reads "Featuring the World Famous Suicide Race." Your continued affiliation with this race and your unresponsiveness to date to the protest of this race means no more Wranglers for me or my family. The only thing that will change my mind is if you contact your PCRA representative and tell them you will no longer sponsor the Omak Stampede until the Suicide Race has been permanently cancelled. Sincerely, [Your Name] With a copy to: * Terry L. Lay, VP & Chairman, Jeanswear Coalition VF Corporation 105 Corporate Center Blvd. Greensboro, NC 27408 * Cindy Knoebel, VP, Financial & Corporate Communciations VF Corporation 105 Corporate Center Blvd. Greensboro, NC 27408 =============== Email Cindy Knoebel at cindy-knoebel@vfc.com. Really want to make a statement? Send your a pair of your Wranglers back to them and tell them you are doing so in protest of their sponsorship of the Omak Suicide Race.
