More details

Parks have always been
our common ground, but during the pandemic, they are a lifeline. And
yet today, 100 million people-including 28 million kids-do
not have a quality park or outdoor space near home. Even more
troubling, parks serving primarily American Indian, Asian, Black,
Hispanic, and Pacific Islander populations are half the size of parks
that serve mostly white populations, and serve five times more people.

Communities without
adequate parks often also suffer from high unemployment, higher rates
of asthma, obesity, and heart disease, a lack of affordable housing,
underperforming schools, and a shortage of healthy food.

As representatives of
some of the world's largest and most influential brands, the business
sector can play a pivotal role in addressing these disparities and
creating a more inclusive society.

For our next Park
Bench Chat, Trust for Public Land volunteer, philanthropist, and
retired Apple senior executive Val Cole will be joining in
conversation with Luis Benitez, vice president of global impact for
The VF Corporation, parent company of The North Face, VANS,
Timberland, and other lifestyle and apparel brands; Cheri Carter, vice
president of Boeing Global Engagement for The Boeing Company; and
Wendy Feliz, founding director of the Center for Inclusion and
Belonging at the American Immigration Council.

They will discuss how
the corporate sector can address systemic inequalities through
investments in communities and parks, how brands can effectively
communicate their commitment to diversity and equity, and ways
corporate America can lead in fostering a more welcoming and inclusive
enviroment for all.

When: Tuesday,
December 8, 2020 2 p.m. ET/12:00 p.m. MT/11:00 a.m. PT

Topic: Parks Unite Us:
Creating social change through parks and community
