Sustainability
Boost Oxygen is committed to sustainability in everything we do, from reducing waste in our manufacturing processes, reducing the materials used in packaging and shipping, and incorporating sustainable elements into our product design. Every one of our canisters is 100% recyclable and can be placed in any bin marked for aluminum recycling. We manufacture in Milford, Connecticut, and we derive most of our electricity through solar panels. We incorporate sustainability into every decision we make to help ensure that we have a vibrant future ahead!
Charity
Boost Oxygen is a proud supporter of several national and local community organizations, charities and events. Here are just some of the organizations that we work with and actively support:
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
Boost Oxygen supports the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with an annual donation, as well as recent sponsorships of their annual walks across the country to support the Foundation’s mission to cure Cystic Fibrosis and raise awareness. Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes long-lasting lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. More than 30,000 children and adults in the United States have CF (70,000 worldwide) and CF affects people of every racial and ethnic group.

Connecticut Foodshare
When the 2021 pandemic forced the closing of Connecticut schools, it cut off important daily meals for many children. Boost Oxygen donated to Connecticut Foodshare to help families statewide during the pandemic, and we continue to make regular donations to the Connecticut Foodshare program.

Medtechvets
MedTechVets was founded in 2014 with a simple mission: To help military Veterans transition and find a career with purpose in the Medical Technology Industry through education, mentoring, and networking. Their vision is to help Veterans secure meaningful careers that match their strengths, skillset, and aspirations. We connect Veterans and employers to create advancements in the MedTech and Life Sciences industries. Boost Oxygen has been a proud supporter of MedTechVets from the very beginning. Our COO Mike Grice was the founding CEO of MedTechVets and worked tirelessly to develop the organization from its grass roots. At the time he was transitioning into civilian life himself after a 29 year highly decorated career in the Marines, and still contributes a vast amount of his time, expertise and leadership as a Board member to help mentor our country’s finest as they too navigate the confusing journey from public service to the private sector.
Boost Oxygen’s Founder Rob Neuner has proudly served as a Board member and Treasurer since the beginning, met Mike Grice through the organization and continues to support this very meaningful cause to shaping excellence in the MedTech field, and helping our veterans along the way.

The Kennedy Center
People with disabilities have the same dreams as all of us. They want to live, work, socialize, and be a part of their community. In Connecticut, The Kennedy Center supports these desires and wishes by offering a broad range of programs and services for children, adults, and the elderly with diverse disabilities. They also offer job placement and outsourcing services for statewide businesses. Boost Oxygen has teamed up with The Kennedy Center for several initiatives in recent years, including a major project to create Boost Oxygen retail product displays for 150 Walmart locations nationwide.

TeamUSA.org
Boost Oxygen is proud to support our United States Olympians! We regularly donate to TeamUSA.org, which funds our athletes for their Olympic dreams. From the TEAMUSA.ORG website: “Unlike most countries, Team USA does not receive government funding for its Olympic athletes and programs. We count on people like you to help provide our athletes with the resources they need to become Olympians and Paralympians — and represent America on and off the field of play. Simply put, you are the Team Behind the Team!”
