National Safe Boating Council Presents Sperry TopSider with 50th Anniversary...

The company who invented the first boat shoe, Sperry Top-Sider's174;, has been a proud member of the boating community for almost 75 years. And for a half century, the National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) has worked tirelessly to educate boaters on safe, fun ways to enjoy the water.

Today, both organizations join together in recognition of the common mission of safe boating, as the NSBC honors Sperry Top-Sider with its prestigious 50th Anniversary Golden Burgee.

Our work at NSBC would be impossible if not for the generous, continued support of true boating advocates like Sperry Top-Sider, said Virgil Chambers, executive director. Their commitment allows us to focus on our important work of educating the public on safe boating habits.

Since inventing its famous siped outsole that provides sure footing and tracking on slick, wet surfaces, Sperry Top-Sider has played a natural role in safe and fun boating. The company'ss formal support of the NSBC allows for that mission to touch thousands each and every year through the organization'ss many programs.

We'sre proud to be a part of the NSBC'ss effort, and are honored by this recognition, said Sperry Top-Sider President Craig Reingold. Each day spent by the water is a gift and our work with NSBC is one illustration of our commitment to helping more people enjoy the freedom and exhilaration of life in, on and around the sea.
