Boulder Canyon Wants to be The Official Partner of Your Unofficial Hacky Sack Club

As the Official Snack Sponsor, Boulder Canyon will support spontaneous, community-driven hacky sack gatherings taking shape in parks, public plazas and on college campuses with snacks and branded gear.

Hacky sack groups continue to pop up across the country, requiring nothing more than open space, a few people and a footbag to come to life. This movement reflects exactly the kind of authentic, screen-free connection Boulder Canyon has championed all year long.

Boulder Canyon’s Official Snack Sponsorship includes:

Boulder Canyon snacks to fuel meetups
Custom hacky sacks
Exclusive merch and branded gear

Hacky sack clubs interested in being considered for a Boulder Canyon partnership this summer can follow and direct message @BoulderCanyon on Instagram.

"As people increasingly seek ways to unplug and connect offline, hacky sack clubs have emerged as a simple yet meaningful way to bring communities together. We love that energy and we want to support these gatherings to celebrate the authentic moments that happen when people put their phones down and join the circle," said Stacey Schultz, senior vice president of marketing at Utz Quality Foods, LLC, a subsidiary of Utz Brands, Inc.

Boulder Canyon's support of hacky sack clubs is just one part of the brand's broader effort to encourage consumers to embrace real-world connections. Throughout the summer, Boulder Canyon will also support community-driven hobbies and other growing social gatherings, including run clubs, outdoor recreation groups and other growing social movements that bring people together through shared interests.
