FARMINGTON, Utah, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vista Outdoor Inc. ("Vista Outdoor") (NYSE: VSTO) announced it donated employee-built bicycles, water bottles and helmets to the National Ability Center during an event held in conjunction with the company's sales conference in Park City, Utah.

More than 150 Vista Outdoor employees volunteered to build bikes for the National Ability Center

The company hosted a "bike build" that gave employees the opportunity to work together to assemble bicycles donated by Advanced Sports International. Forty teams of employees built 70 bikes, which were presented to the National Ability Center, along with CamelBak water bottles, and Bell and Giro bicycle helmets. Vista Outdoor is the parent company of CamelBak, Bell and Giro.

"We believed the sales conference was a natural time to bring our team together for this worthwhile cause. We're proud to partner with the National Ability Center and to provide equipment that will make a real difference in the lives of people in need."
