Daytona Beach's Dale Shoes and ECCO Collecting Shoes for Less Fortunate
Dale’s Shoes and ECCO, USA, Inc. ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP WITH SOLES4SOULS®, THE SHOE CHARITY
Shoppers are invited to donate funds or bring in any brand of ‘gently worn’ shoes to Dale’s Shoes and will receive a $10 credit towards any pair of ECCO shoes from the new autumn 2010 line.
DAYTONA BEACH, FL – September 2010 – Dale’s Shoes and ECCO, both leaders in comfort footwear, are proud to announce a partnership with Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity. From September 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010, Dale’s Shoes will be collecting donations, both monetary and of footwear, as part of their Trade-In My ECCOs (TIME) promotion. A representative from ECCO will be visiting at Dale’s Shoes during the first and last Saturdays (9/4/10 & 9/25/10) of the event.
Every 7 seconds, Soles4Souls gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. The shoe charity has earned glowing endorsements from Hollywood stars and professional athletes, but the people that truly make the non-profit organization effective are those who clean out their closets to personally drop off their ‘gently worn’ shoes at a participating location..
“We have all felt suffering in some form or other. When we have an opportunity to help others in need we should act in a timely manner. That’s why we are proud to be cosponsoring with ECCO this TIME promotion." said Dale Dotson, Founder of Dale’s Shoes.
Soles4Souls and Dale’s Shoes in conjunction with ECCO will be collecting your gently worn footwear or monetary funds to ship to people in need, whether they are victims of natural disasters or subject to living in extreme poverty. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone's life.
“Dale’s Shoes and ECCO are terrific partners and we are excited they are offering customers a great way to get involved in our mission,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. “Their efforts will benefit many people in need and we are proud to have their support,” he said.
