Two Ten keeps up the good work.
A lot done, more to do. That’s how Two Ten President Neal Newman summarizes week three of the organization’s month-long lineup of service projects as part of #FootwearCares. “While we recognize that the communities and organizations we are supporting are grateful for our help, we also know that in many cases we are just scratching the surface of what is really required to make a difference,” he says.
Two Ten keeps on caring.
Two Ten continued its month-long bonanza of community service projects last week as part of #FootwearCares. April 7 found the FDRA working with SOME (So Others Might Eat) to serve lunch to 400 homeless people in Washington, DC.

Two Ten and Kenneth Cole partner on guilt-free shopping.
Two Ten Footwear Foundation is partnering with Kenneth Cole for a one-day holiday promotion that’s just one more example of the industry’s committment to philanthropy (editor’s note: see our January issue next month). Using code KC210 tomorrow, Dec. 15, will ensure 10 percent of all purchases made at www.kennethcole.com will be donated to Two Ten. This meaningful donation will go a long way in helping footwear families who find themselves in need of financial aid this holiday season.
