"<em>Sometimes the only way to work it out, is to work out</em>," the tagline is: "<em>Be Strong</em>." Ryka made a strong commitment to helping battered women and focused on this cause as an integral part of their company image and marketing efforts. In 1992 they partnered with the Rose Foundation which distributed money to programs that helped abused women. Seven percent of the company's earnings went to the group. In 1995 Ryka was acquired by a larger corporation and was no longer affiliated with the Rose Foundation. Ryka partnered with a women&rsquo;s charitable foundation, similar to the affiliation the brand once had with the ROSE foundation, called <em>Another Chance</em>. Ryka contributed one percent of 1999 sales generated at Lady Foot Locker to <em>Another Chance</em>.
