SPRI Gives Back
The day before the opening of the 2009 Health & Fitness Business show, three SPRI employees hurried to assemble the company’s exhibit booth so they could participate in a volunteer effort arranged by show organizers at a local Boys & Girls Club. There, a team of manufacturers, retailers, SNEWS staffers and show representatives spent hours cleaning and organizing the gym, art room, library, technology room and lounge to prepare the facility for fall programs.
SPRI, along with Colorado Home Fitness, also donated assorted accessories to the William E. Cope branch of the Boys & Girls Club to encourage kids to exercise.
