Anyone who has ever lived in or visited New York knows that there's one thing you do pretty much more than anything else... you walk. And, if you're a woman, there's one thing that's more important than any accessory in New York: a good pair of walking shoes that are both cool and stylish (this is New York you know). Well, what if every time you bought one of those comfy cool walking shoes a needy child was given the same pair of shoes? Since its founding in 2006, TOMS shoes has provided over 140,000 shoes for kids worldwide. Shop online for your own and help them reach this year's goal of 300,000.
You may have seen the AT&T commercial starring the ruggedly handsome Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes. Whether intended or not, Blake has proven himself to be the New York woman's social entrepreneur of the year (at least at Green Team). We're all about doing well by doing good, and TOMS' One for One business model is a great example of how you can use the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good.
By the way, they also have lots of great styles for men, but the shipment of goodies that arrived last week at the agency were for the ladies! Lindsey is thinking about getting the silver and red sequin ones next... obviously!
