**4,300 employees at footwear and apparel company Timberland will today volunteer
in more than 20 countries.**

Today is The Timberland Company 7th Annual Global Serv-a-palooza, a worldwide community
service initiative. Timberland employees and business and community partners will
contribute more than 30,000 hours of service in just one day, benefiting more than
45 communities worldwide.

“Serv-a-palooza gives Timberland employees and our partners all over the world the
chance to actively participate in their local communities,” says Jeffrey Swartz,
President and CEO of The Timberland Company.

environment.

Service events will take place in 24 countries, including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil,
Canada, China, Egypt, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Japan,
