Part of Volcom’s Give Back program, Volcom Europe is proud to announce the launch of the operation GIVE JEANS A CHANCE starting November 15 in its stores in Hossegor (202 av Paul Lahary) and Bordeaux (92 Rue Sainte Catherine). According to various official surveys, there are between 4.5 and 8 million people living under the poverty threshold. Volcom offers you the opportunity to bring your old jeans (that can still be worn) at the participating Volcom store of your choice in exchange of a free cap and to participate in the draw to win 2 tickets for the concert of your choice at the Rock School Barbey in Bordeaux. All recovered jeans will be donated to the organization “Restos du Coeur” which will distribute them for free to the needy. With winter approaching we are counting on all of you to make a simple charitable gesture. Facebook event Bordeaux.  Facebook event Hossegor.  A travers son programme « Volcom Give Back », Volcom est fier d’annoncer le lancement de son opération GIVE JEANS A CHANCE à partir du 15 Novembre dans ses magasins d’Hossegor (202 av Paul Lahary) et Bordeaux (92 Rue Sainte Catherine).  Selon les sondages des différents instituts agréés, la France compte entre 4,5 et 8 millions de personnes vivant sous le seuil de pauvreté.  Volcom vous propose de ramener vos vieux jeans usagés (mais dans un état qui permet de les porter) au Volcom Store de votre choix en échange d’une casquette gratuite, et de pouvoir participer au tirage au sort qui permet de remporter deux places au concert de votre choix à la salle de concert de Rock School Barbey.  Tous les jeans récupérés seront donnés à l’association des « Resto du Cœur » qui les redistribuera gratuitement.  Avec l’arrivée de l’hiver, nous comptons sur chacun d’entre vous pour faire un geste simple de charité.  Facebook event Bordeaux.  Facebook event Hossegor.
