Auri Footwear Partners with Soles4Souls
Auri Footwear announced that for every pair of shoes sold through new retail partnerships or its online store, the company will donate funds to Soles4Souls. The partnership will include $5 donations for every pair sold through wholesale and $10 donations for every pair sold through its Aurifootwear.com website.
Our entire organization is thrilled to be partnered with Soles4Souls, states Ori Rosenbaum, founder and CEO or Auri Footwear in Laguna Beach, CA. Ever since we launched in 2008, our goal was to give back and this is the perfect organization to do so with. Rosenbaum adds, We will continue to create opportunities for charitable giving because its simply become part of who we are as individuals and as a brand.
Currently, the Nashville, TN-based Soles4Souls estimates that 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, donations can mean the difference between a proper education and none at all.
We are excited about our partnership with Auri and their generous support, says Wayne Elsey, founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. The simple gift of shoes can truly change someones life, and brands like Auri are making a huge impact on the international community with their long-term commitments to make a difference.
To date, 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. For more information on how to get involved and donate to the victims in Haiti, visit www.giveshoes.org.
