Gallatin Businesses Support Shoe Charity

GALLATIN BUSINESSES AND SOLES4SOULS ANNOUNCE LAUNCH OF STAR OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARITY DRIVE WITH STARKART

Did you know that there are 300 million children in the world who don’t own a pair of shoes?  Well STARKART and their partners SPORTCLIPS HAIRCUTS, MS SUE'S SKIN CARE & MED SPA, PLANTATION FINE WINE & SPIRITS, AMBER LEAF, and NEWTON NISSAN are doing their part to help change this. STARKART and Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity, are teaming up this spring to help spread the word and raise funds for the millions worldwide without shoes. STARKART’s advertising partner in Gallatin announced it will collect donations for the charity through JUNE 2010.       

“We are excited about our partnership with STARKART and their Gallatin partners,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls, Inc. “A simple pair of shoes can mean the difference between a good education and none at all in most countries. For as little as 5 dollars, we can put shoes on the feet of two children,” he said.

Please join STARKART and their nationwide efforts to support Soles4Souls by visiting on of the participating locations and donating to the cause. Supporters can also text SHOES to 20222 and $5.00 will be charged to your phone bill, which will go directly to Soles4Souls.
