The 26-time world champion New York Yankees, including (l-r) Steve Karsay, Rondell White, and Ron Coomer, have joined American Forests and Eddie Bauer to help plant Memorial Tree Groves for the September 11 victims and heroes. A tree, scheduled to be presented during a pregame ceremony Sept. 8, will be planted in Yankee Stadiumıs Monument Park.

Although a dollar doesn't sound like much, small change can buy you a lot. When you "add a dollar" to your total at Eddie Bauer, we'll plant trees on behalf of those affected by the tragedy of September 11. It's part of our continuing partnership with the retail leader Eddie Bauer to plant Memorial Tree Groves.

American Forests recognizes that planting memorial trees is an age-old tradition symbolizing life, growth and hope for the future. Throughout history, trees have often been planted to recognize courageous acts of heroism. As our nation continues to rebuild the communities affected by the loss of September 11, we believe that planting trees is a fitting tribute to the strength and perseverance of America. You can help us remember those who lost their lives with a donation to help plant one tree for each life lost in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Visit your local Eddie Bauer retail store, online at www.eddiebauer.com or donate through Eddie Bauer catalogs. Just ask to add $1 or more to your purchase total.

We're making a difference!

By planting trees, we're not only creating a living memorial, we're making a difference for the environment. Trees are the single most important contribution to the environment. They generate oxygen and clean pollutants from our air, purify ground water and reduce energy consumption by providing shade. Believe it or not, trees even reduce noise pollution and minimize flood damage. To find out more about planting trees, visit Ten Reasons to Plant Trees.

With the help of Eddie Bauer and its customers, we've collected $4.7 million and planted more than 4.7 million trees in the United States and Canada in the last four years. Our partnership with Eddie Bauer has created the most successful reforestation project by a non-forest-related business in the United States.
