In partnership with Florida’s First Lady Casey DeSantis, Tervis, the drinkware company famous for its Tervis tumblers and water bottles, announced the launch of a new tumbler created to raise money for Floridians affected by Hurricane Ian.
First Lady Casey DeSantis visited the Tervis headquarters in North Venice, Florida, for the launch of the new “Together We Shine” tumbler and water bottle. The special edition design highlights the strength of people in the Sunshine State following the devastation left behind by Hurricane Ian.
Tervis’ “Together We Shine” design features iconic Florida imagery: palm trees, an alligator, a manatee, a sailboat, a golf hole, a flamingo and a rocketship. The tumbler was created as a reminder that through the devastation, the entire Florida community has come together to help those in need – whether that be family, friends, neighbors or even complete strangers.
All proceeds from sales of the “Together We Shine” tumbler and water bottle will go to the Florida Disaster Fund to aid in recovery efforts. Casey DeSantis is leading the state’s effort to raise funds for hurricane relief. The Florida Disaster Fund raised more than $35 million in just its first five days.
“Witnessing the aftermath of Hurricane Ian has been devastating to the Tervis family, as it has greatly impacted us all,” said Rogan Donelly, Tervis President & CEO. “But what has truly been inspiring is seeing how this hardship has united an entire region. People helping others out in any way they can, even if they themselves have experienced loss, is admirable. That is what motivated us to launch an initiative to raise funds for the recovery efforts for all Floridians.”
The “Together We Shine” tumblers can be purchased at Tervis stores and on the Tervis website. The 24 oz tumbler sells for $21.99, and the 24 oz water bottle sells for $26.99.
Tervis is currently operating in a limited capacity due to the number of employees who have been impacted by the hurricane. The company asks that people be patient after ordering “Together We Shine” tumblers, as shipping times may be longer than usual.
