A Message From Our Sponsors:
Apple said that proceeds will support the National Park Foundation's mission to protect and preserve national parks. Apple CEO Tim Cook said:
America's national parks are an inspiration to us at Apple, and we know they are as important to many of our customers as they are to us. Our goal is to leave the world better than we found it, so this July we're making it easier for anyone to help preserve the beauty of our natural, cultural, and historical treasures.
Additionally, on July 15, all Apple Watch users can complete a walk, run, or wheelchair workout of 3.5 miles to earn an award and stickers for Messages inspired by national parks.
We encourage everyone to go to a national park this July as well as helping preserve the national parks.
