L.L. Bean, Parks To Celebrate 100th Birthday


Maine retailer L.L. Bean is turning 100 this year, and as part of the birthday festivities, is targeting America’s couch-potato kids. Working with the National Park Foundation, Bean will spend $1 million to increase outdoor recreation among families, and introduce more children to America's national parks. Called the Million Moment Mission, the effort is based in part on research that shows the average kid spends less than one hour a day outdoors.
