One for One

So I call on each of you to ask yourself this question...
           -Do you love shoes? (I see you nodding your head yes!)

Now my next question...

           -How would you feel if you could buy yourself shoes while also donating a pair at the

            same time?(Well, if you are anything like me you are saying, 'Where do I sign up?')

The One for One Movement

In 2006,  Blake Mycoskie an American traveling in South America made friends with Argentinian children and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. And so the One for One movement was born. Blake later returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.

AND NOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOO!

Please visit the link above to check out their videos and stories. If you were as moved as we were, then please let us know if you would be interested in having a TOMs resident event! You would purchase shoes to design and send to children less fortunate around the world.

One for one...
