PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Danner, Inc., a subsidiary of LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. (Nasdaq:BOOT), a leading provider of branded work and outdoor footwear for expert users, was recognized on two separate occasions for its support of the U.S. Army.

On April 18, 2008, the ROTC program at the University of Portland honored Danner for supporting the Ranger Challenge, where officers in training at more than 300 universities compete nationwide in a three-day event to test leadership, physical conditioning and field exercise skills in extreme controlled environments. Danner donated boots and gift certificates to support the program.

On April 19, 2008, Danner was again honored as “Corporate Sponsor of the Year” from the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) Columbia River Chapter. The award recognized Danner’s support for soldiers throughout Oregon and southern Washington in providing them with high-quality, high-performance footwear.
