Alberta Street Fair
Shoe Donation & Recycling Drive
Saturday, September 13, 2008
Hosted by: Pie Footwear
Sponsors: Albina Community Bank & Teva Footwear
There is an estimated 1.5 billion pairs of shoes in American homes that are destined for our landfills instead of being put to use the way they were intended: on people’s feet. Pie Footwear in partnership with Albina Community Bank, Teva Footwear, The Waterkeeper Alliance, Souls4soles and The Alberta Street Fair will host a Shoe Donation & Recycling Drive during the 11th annual Alberta Street Fair on Saturday, September 13th from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Shoes collected will be donated to Soles4Souls and distributed on a national and international level to people in need. Soles4Souls participated in donating over 1 million pairs of shoes to help aid the relief efforts for the Asian Tsunami and the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
For each shoe collected Teva will donate $1 to The Waterkeeper Alliance. The Water keeper Alliance is a grassroots advocacy organization with 177 local Waterkeeper programs and growing. They are dedicated to preserving and protecting your water from polluters.
Shoes will be collected in front of Pie Footwear on 29th & Alberta the day of the fair. Shoes can also be dropped off prior to the event at Albina Community Bank’s MLK Branch or at Pie Footwear.
Join us and clean out your closet for a good cause and drop off your old shoes at the Alberta Street Fair Shoe Donation & Recycling Drive hosted by Pie Footwear. Event will include Teva in store product promotions at Pie Footwear and a Teva product give away raffle.
