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 it’s 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 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.”
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
