HAITI SHOE DRIVE

Cortese Foot and Ankle Clinic...

Will be hosting a Haiti Shoe Drive at the Cortese Foot and Ankle Clinic, 1607 Visa Drive, Suite 5B, Bloomington-Normal, Illinois located in McLean County.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CORTESE FOOT AND ANKLE CLINIC ANNOUNCES HAITI EARTHQUAKE SHOE DRIVE TO BENEFIT SOLES4SOULS™ Inc., THE SHOE CHARITY, AT 1607 VISA DRIVE, SUITE 5B, NORMAL, ILLINOIS ON FEBRUARY 15TH-MARCH 31ST 2010.

McLean County residents are invited to recycle their “gently worn” shoes for HAITI EARTHQUAKE DISASTER SURVIVORS.

Nashville, TN – DATE – Every 9 seconds, Soles4Souls, Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to Haiti Earthquake Survivors. 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 Cortese Foot and Ankle Clinic, 1607 Visa Drive, Suite 5B, Normal, Illinois. 61761.

For a limited time, Soles4Souls and Cortese Foot and Ankle Clinic will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or donations to ship the shoes to the Haiti Earthquake Disaster victims 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.

We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to change the world one pair at a time,” Elsey said. “We need our partners in McLean County Illinois to 'STEP UP' and get behind our call for action. It’s one of the most simple yet profound gifts you can make, because it will greatly improve someone’s life in the most difficult of times,” he said.


Please bring your footwear to the CORTESE FOOT AND ANKLE CLINIC.

FEBRUARY 15TH - MARCH 31ST.
