Waltham, MA (PRWEB) April 22, 2013
Two Ten Footwear Foundation announced today 65 footwear organizations have united in the industrys first-ever Footwear Cares National Footwear Community Service Week, April 21-27, which coincides with National Volunteer Week. Footwear companies around the nation have chosen one day during which they provide action and help to support local communities and charities.

The week of Footwear Cares National Footwear Community Service Week was launched this morning from the steps of City Hall in New York City. Two Ten CEO Neal Newman introduced clothing and shoe designer Kenneth Cole, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, Comproller John Liu and City Council members Gale Brewer, Mathieu Eugene, Diana Reyna and Leroy Comrie.
Activities are scheduled for more than 3,000 footwear volunteers in 45 towns and cities across the US, including New York, Boston, Columbus, Los Angeles, and St. Louis. Among the participating companies are Brown Shoe Company, Clarks, New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc., Puma, Steven Madden, Ltd., The Timberland Co. and Zappos.com.

The Jonas Group, National Shoe Retailers Association, SEI Institutional Group and United Shoe Retailers Association. You can follow and/or comment on Twitter at #footwearcares.
Footwear companies have a spirit of generosity unmatched by any other industry in the USA. Footwear Cares is just one remarkable example of how deep footwear companies are committed to improving the quality of life in our local communities where we live, work and play, said Two Ten Footwear Foundation President Neal Newman.
Chairman of the Two Ten Board, Jim Salzano, President of The Clarks Companies, N.A., said, I am delighted that we will be harnessing the good will already brimming over from our Two Ten companies and their workers. Involvement in Two Ten has always been about doing the right thing for our industry, our workforce and our communities. ‘Footwear Cares’ is a wonderful opportunity for our industry to shine.

Last February, Steve and Wendy Madden gave an unrestricted $ 1 million donation to Two Ten Footwear Foundation, to reach more people and increase the national impact of the Foundation.
