HDS MEDALLION Teams Up With The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, April 21, 2012

HDS MEDALLION is proud to announce an agreement with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation whereby the purchase of designated Distinctive CarryAll Bags for mobility devices will automatically generate a $7.00 donation to the Reeve Foundation. Five specific bags from the HDS MEDALLION collection, including Poppy Punch Caribbean Blue, Espresso Flower Shower and Pretty Paisley Bright Blue, are designated as Reeve Foundation donation bags. In addition, HDS MEDALLION is creating two brand new bags for wheelchairs and thick-armed power chairs that will be included in the program. The Reeve Foundation will highlight this partnership with HDS MEDALLION in their new online store, and customers who wish to purchase one of these bags will be re-directed to HDS MEDALLION for final purchase. Customers can identify which bags will generate a donation by locating the Reeve Foundation's flame logo next to the designated carryall bag.
