Auri Footwear Announces Partnership with Soles4Souls

AURI FOOTWEAR® ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH SOLES4SOULS TO DONATE FUNDS FOR EVERY PAIR SOLD

The "Look Good. Feel Good." Brand to use sales to give back to global community.

Auri footwear announced Friday that for every pair of shoes sold through new retail partnerships or their online store, the company will donate funds to the shoe charity to put shoes on the feet of those in need.  The partnership will include $5 donations for every pair sold through wholesale and $10 donations for every pair of shoes sold through their Aurifootwear.com website.  Soles4Souls has donated more than 7 million pairs of shoes worldwide, and most recently committed more than 1.3 million pairs to the victims of the Haitian earthquake. 

Auri is committed to helping the global community with the overwhelming need of footwear.  Currently, more than 300 million children worldwide do not own a single pair of shoes.  Considering most foreign countries require a pair of shoes for a child to attend school, their donation can mean the difference between a proper education and none at all. 

“We are excited about our partnership with Auri and their generous support,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. “The simple gift of shoes can truly change someone’s life, and brands like Auri are making a huge impact on the international community with their long-term commitments to make a difference.”

“Our entire organization is thrilled to be partnered with Soles4Souls,” said Ori Rosenbaum, founder and CEO or Auri Footwear. “Ever since we launched in 2008, our goal was to give back and this is the perfect organization to do so with. We will continue to create opportunities for charitable giving because it’s simply become part of who we are as individuals and as a brand.”
