soles4souls email

the email i sent to the team, and the scdbc for their newsletter. also similar tot he one I gave my chinese school class...
"Every 17 seconds, Soles4Souls Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. They have distributed more than 4.3 million pairs to people in over 125 countries, including Honduras, Uganda, Romania, and the United States. And you can help too! 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.

"From now until May 25th, I will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or donations for Soles4Souls to ship the shoes to a person in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster 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 someones life.

"Please bring your shoes to any Space Dragons practice and drop them off in the collection box that will be placed next to the benches.

"For more information on the charity, please visit http://www.soles4souls.org/. For information regarding the shoe drive, please email ..."
