Backpacks, duffle bags and briefs can also be donated for a $50 credit towards a non-rolling Briggs & Riley piece. Donations can be made between May 1-31, 2021 at participating specialty retailers across the US and Canada and for the first time ever, on the brand’s website, www.briggs-riley.com. In collaboration with Comfort Cases, Briggs & Riley bags will be donated to local foster care and family services agencies in each market to benefit children in need.
