SOLZ, INC. is proud to have a close ongoing partnership with Nashville-based charity Soles4Souls.  Through this partnership, SOLZ® is able to get a pair of shoes to someone in need for every single pair of SOLZ shoes ordered.  SOLZ® sponsors shoe drives to collect used shoes as well as donating money for every new pair of our shoes ordered.  

Brad Carrick, founder of SOLZ® shoes, explained, “This partnership is a clear fit.  I like the idea of giving shoes to those in need but don’t think they need fashionable new shoes.  Why have factories churn out so many extra new shoes when we have closets and landfills full of used ones?  This way we can better help people in need, the environment, and our souls.”

To sustain this corporate commitment, SOLZ® will collaborate with SKIHLZ(TM), an athletic footwear brand owned by WHOmentors.com, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor, to create public interest in supporting a pledge to provide 60,000 pairs of athletic footwear to over 2,000 teen athlethes from 80 countries partiipating in the International Children's Games (ICG).

ICG is endorsed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and will be hosted by the Republic of Korea from July 12-17, 2012 in Daegu, South Korea.
