This past week, the TOMS Campus Club at U of A and the SIFE Business Club teamed up to educate students about Podoconiosis and help TOMS put more shoes on children’s feet. The club members built and placed three installations on campus with facts about Podo and what students can do to get involved with the One for One movement. Earlier in the week, over 350 students gathered on campus, along with the U of A Wildcat mascot, for a one mile barefoot walk with Hanson. The guys even played a free show at the bookstore afterwards and hung out with fans to sign autographs. The major event, held Thursday November 12 and titled U of A Gives Back, Why Ethiopia?, recruited students from all over campus to come have their TOMS customized and soak up the sunshine with like-minded classmates. 18 artists were there hand-painting shoes, creating “some of the best custom TOMS I’ve ever seen!” said TOMS Campus Manager Autumn Petersen. At the end of the week, over 400 pairs of TOMS were sold, guaranteeing over 400 matched pairs for children in need.

Maddi, a past TOMS HQ intern, the TOMS Campus Club, and the SIFE Business Club did an extraordinary job at planning and executing a successful, fun, and memorable campus event. Kudos from TOMS HQ!
