NBA PLAYER AND INVESTOR JAE CROWDER DONATES $15,000 TO HELP ALLEVIATE ISLIDES BUSINESS CHALLENGES AMID COVID-19 CRISIS

March 27, 2020 - With so much talk about NBA players giving back to unemployed staff at arenas across the country, Miami Heat player Jae Crowder is making sure the immense challenges small businesses are currently facing are not forgotten. One of Crowder’s recent investments is Boston-based custom slide sandal company ISlide. Despite having significant growth in its first seven years of business, ISlide has not escaped the business challenges that this unprecedented pandemic has created.

ISlide is not alone in feeling the overall impact of decreased sales, reduced hours and layoffs, which for any growing company is likely its biggest competition to date.
