All of us at O'Neill have been rattled watching the Australian wildfires take place. With over 28,000 square miles burned, countless homes destroyed, and the deaths of 28 people and a estimated 1 Billion animals losing their lives, our hearts go out to those affected.

We feel a responsibility to lend a hand during this difficult time. 20% of every purchase on us.oneill.com from January 17th through January 19th will be donated to the Australian bushfire fundraising efforts. The proceeds will help assist in the survival of native wildlife and provide aid for those who must rebuild after losing everything. Donations will be split between Wires (Australia's largest wildlife rescue organization), RFS (Rural Fire Service) and the Australian Red Cross. Our thoughts and support are behind the victims and their communities as we hope for a stable recovery.
