Tockr announces partnership with Team Rubicon, a veteran-driven non-profit deploying first response relief to vulnerable communities

New York (May , 2020) – Texas-based watch brand Tockr remains engaged with and supportive of its community near and far during these challenging times, leading the brand to announce a site-wide discount on all Tockr watches at tockr.com. In addition, Tockr will also expand its roster of partners to include Team Rubicon, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit that utilizes the skills and experiences of military veterans teamed with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams and provide immediate relief to those impacted by humanitarian crises including the Covid-19 outbreak. To kick off the partnership, the Texas-based watch brand has donated $2,500 to Team Rubicon. Tockr will also donate an additional portion of proceeds from select product sales to Team Rubicon’s Covid-19 response programs indefinitely.

“While many are physically isolated at this time, thankfully our passions, interests, and personal connections are not canceled. The online watch community continues to be a vibrant refuge for many in these hard times. In that spirit, we’re launching a big sale on Tockr.com to bring a little joy and diversion right now to anyone who loves the brand and has always wanted to own a Tockr watch,” said Sophy Rindler, Tockr Co-Founder. “We are also proud to be a brand that has always supported charities since its inception. Our commitment to continue donating a portion of each watch sale to our charity partners is something that we want to be an integral part of the brand identity and philosophy.»

Tockr has long championed and supported charity organizations that honor U.S. military veterans and the rich heritage of the nation’s armed services. With each watch sale at tockr.com, possible charitable recipients may vary per product, with recipients ranging from the Commemorative Air Force and Battleship Texas, to, now, also Team Rubicon. The new partnership between Team Rubicon and Tockr will be long-term, bringing together a brand that has consistently honored veterans through creative watch designs and an organization whose volunteer base is primarily made up of military veterans, first responders, and medical professionals who “are built to serve.”

Austin Ivey, Tockr Founder: “Like so many other small businesses, Tockr is working to weather this pandemic, but we didn’t want to simply carry on business as usual. That’s why we set out to find a charitable partner that supports veterans and that also provides direct, impactful support to vulnerable communities threatened by coronavirus. Tockr is proud to partner with Team Rubicon to support their mission by donating a portion of watch sale proceeds to Team Rubicon. We also look forward to announcing other collaborative initiatives with this incredible organization throughout the year.”
