Shoe Carnival Annouces Fall Giving Campaign
Popular Footwear Retailer will engage customers to give back at check-out at all of their retail locations
Soles4Souls announced today that the popular footwear retailer Shoe Carnival has offered their support once again to help the charity provide shoes to those in need. The continued partnership between the national footwear retailer and the shoe charity has helped put shoes on the feet of more than 550,000 people in need since the launch of the partnership in 2008.
Beginning October 6 through October 26, Shoe Carnival will continue their support of Soles4Souls by offering customers at all 313 locations the opportunity to donate $1 at the register. All funds will be applied toward sending a pair of shoes to victims of natural disasters or those living in extreme poverty, both here in the United States and around the world.
Additionally, Shoe Carnival and Soles4Souls will join forces to donate new shoes to local charities in four cities within the US, where thousands of shoes will be given to needy people.
“Shoe Carnival is proud to continue our support of Soles4Souls,” said Todd Beurman, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Shoe Carnival. “The ongoing partnership with Soles4Souls fits the core of what our brand strives to do, and that is to provide shoes for people that need them.”
“We are excited about the fall partnership with Shoe Carnival and their continued support of our mission,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. ”Their generosity directly benefits people who need our assistance, and we invite everyone to stop by a Shoe Carnival location to become personally involved,” he said.
