Project X ANNOUNCES SHOE DRIVE TO BENEFIT
Soles4Souls™ Inc., T
THE SHOE CHARITY, AT Mama Juana's ON February 28th, 2010
Studio City residents are invited to recycle their “gently worn” shoes for people in need Studio City, CA – February 28th, 2010 –
Every 9 seconds, Soles4Souls, Inc. 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, such as Mama Juana's.
For a limited time, Soles4Souls and Project X in partnership with Sportie LA, will be collecting your gently worn footwear to add to the collection of shoes being donated to the people of Haiti. 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. “We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to help the people of Haiti one pair at a time,” Sol Garcia, Founder of Project X said. “We need our partners in Project X to support our event on February 28th and help make a tangible difference. This is one of the simplest yet profound gifts you can make at this time” she said.
Mama Juana's Latin Lounge 3707 Cahuenga Blvd Studio City, CA 91604 (818) 505-8636 February 28th Drop off will be from 6pm-11pm. (A fundraiser will be taking place from 7-11pm)
