Recent projects for the non-for-profit TreadRight Foundation, which is funded by TTC and supported by its family of brands, includes a Wildlife Initative, focusing on helping stop wildlife crime and using celebrity ambassadors Prince William, David Beckham and Yao Ming, as well as a Heritage Initative which help support select artisans that engage in the creation of handmade and culturally significant products.
