A better TOMorrow...one shoe at a time!

     In July of 2009, we went to the Atlanta market and first learned about  TOMS shoes.  We came back feeling hopeful, inspired, empowered, and charitable...all from meeting TOMS founder, Blake Mycoskie! He makes you believe what he believed so strongly just a few years earlier when he founded TOMS. 

Blake Mycoskie, Founder of TOMS

     Years ago, during his travels, Blake realized how many children around the world were living without shoes, even though they needed to walk long distances for food, clean water, adequate shelter, school, and medical attention. 

     Unfortunately, these children are so often denied the opportunity to improve their lives simply because, without shoes, they cannot make the journey. Their little feet are constantly bruised and cut, which often leads to much more serious conditions. The diseases in developing countries are spread primarily by parasites that penetrate the body through open-sores, especially on the feet. 

     These innocent children are continually at risk of contracting these terrible diseases, many of which are extremely debilitating and life-threatening.  A pair of shoes could make all the difference in the world for these children.  So Blake started TOMS in 2006.  The concept is simple: One for One.  For every pair of TOMS shoes that is purchased by you, TOMS will give a pair to a child in need.  So far, TOMS and their customers have given well over a MILLION pairs of shoes to children all around the world!  These children now have so much more than just a new pair of shoes; they have a chance for a better life. 

Together, we can all help
