ONE FOR ONE!

In 2006 Blake Mycoskie traveled to Argentina and found that children there had no shoes to protect their feet. Children in many developing countries walk barefoot to school, for clean water, and for medical help. Millions of children are at risk for injury, infection and disease which shoes would help to prevent! Inspired by this need, Blake created TOMS ( abbreviation for "Shoes for a Better Tomorrow" ) a company that would "match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. " As of September 2010 1,000,000 pairs of shoes have been given away. Awesome!! Come by The Dandelion to see the latest Fall styles of TOMS -you too can help in the ONE FOR ONE movement. And.....Keep your eyes peeled for the new TOMS eyewear - an exciting new addition to ONE FOR ONE.
