Shoe Carnival Extends Shoe Drive to October 1

Shoe Carnival has announced that they will extend their exclusive fundraising opportunity with Soles4souls to October 1, 2008. All 300 Shoe Carnival store locations nationwide have collected shoes and will continue their efforts in support of the Hurricane Ike victims. For a small donation of $2.00, someone without shoes will receive a gift of shoes.

"As a family footwear retailer Shoe Carnival cares deeply about the communities and families left to rebuild after Hurricane Ike," said Todd Beurman, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Shoe Carnival. "When a disaster strikes close to home it's important for us to help in any way we can. By extending our partnership with Soles4Souls and focusing this extension on Hurricane Ike relief efforts we are helping to ensure that those affected communities and families are able to begin the rebuilding process."

To date, Soles4souls has sent 85,000 pairs of new shoes to aid in the Hurricane Ike relief efforts. They pledge to continue to fulfill the needs of all those who have been affected by the recent hurricanes.
