***Evo Gets Down & Dirty in Fremont***
For Immediate Release
March 1, 2006
Seattle, WA - Evo, a fashion, snowboard, ski, & wakeboard retail store, will hit the streets picking up trash in its Fremont neighborhood Friday, March 3rd in an effort to give back to the community and connect with social responsibility initiatives that guide the company.
The store and call center consisting of around 30 employees will shut down from 8:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. in order to canvas the neighborhood in search of trash. The Fremont Starbucks has generously offered free coffee for employees participating in beautification effort and the company-wide event will end with an internal potluck and prize ceremony for the most trash collected in the true, anti-not funny, Evo way.

Evo Trash Pickup Day
Have you ever wondered what all those foreign objects like candy bar wrappers, beer bottles, and magnum XXXL condom packages are doing lying on the ground in Fremont? Recent studies have indicated that these objects are called GARBAGE and that garbage can pose an environmental and aesthetic hazard to the areas in which it is found. Evogear is sponsoring a radical new program to collect and dispose of as much garbage as possible on the morning of Friday, March 3.
You might be thinking “Well I have seen all those prisoners picking up trash in those bright orange suits, how hard can this be?” The answer may surprise you, so here are some FAQ’s to help you understand who, what, where, and why of garbage pick-up day.
FAQ- wH^T U kneed 2 kn0w
What should I wear when I pick up Garbage?
Scientists have used science to prove that when a group goes to pick up garbage they are the most effective when they are identically, or very similarly, dressed. Consider wearing a company sweatshirt or t-shirt with the words EVO printed boldly across the chest.
Should I wear one of these “EVO” sweatshirts if it’s cold and rainy?
Yes, especially if it’s cold and rainy.
My friend said that I shouldn’t pick up garbage because I could get a GTD (Garbage transmitted disease).
Your friend is smart to be cautious, but garbage does not pose a risk those who stop and think before they act. By using “protection” it is easy to avoid GTD’s and other messy situations. There are many forms of protection, the most common is a pair of gloves that will help keep your hands clean, and your body free from GTD’s
So what’s in it for me?
You may not be aware of this, but EVO is considered the best prize awarding company in the U.S. Past EVO prizes range from demolition derby tickets, mad dog 20/20, and deluxe math sets. This event will be no exception with prizes for largest and nastiest pieces of trash.
How can I distinguish between a large, or nasty, piece of trash and Shilo Jones?
If you pick up a large piece of trash and it starts talking about refining processes and “getting this dialed in” it is most likely Shilo, and you should gently place him back on the ground. This happens often to Shilo, so don’t be embarrassed, he’s used to it by now.
This sounds great, but I spend my free time playing Dance Dance Revolution and ripping Japanese anime off the internet, I really don’t have time to do this.
No need to worry, the entire company will shut down on Friday, March 3 from 8am-1pm so that everyone can voluntarily participate in this mandatory event.
I usually like my good deeds documented and photographed so I can give PowerPoint presentations of what a great person I am, is there a way we could arrange this?
Tre and others will be around documenting the occasion. Bring your camera too, and take some pictures of that crazy guy that stacks rocks and yells at people.
I typically get hungry for pasteurized dairy products after picking up garbage in Fremont, is there some sort of food intake event taking place in correspondence with the conclusion of the event?
From 12 to 1pm a good old fashioned pizza and ice cream social will take place, it will be like the 1950’s only with more swearing.
