Hey Everyone!
The Sole Sisters are coming to you live from Barnes and Noble! We hit the road Monday and rocked our first event at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. We began the day by screening the TOMS documentary, ‘For Tomorrow,’ for a group of 25 students. Following the screening, we moved outside to the student union to host a Style Your Sole painting party! We sold over 20 pairs of shoes and figured out a few things about the best way for a team of two to run an event. We flew solo for the first time! Note to self: do NOT park your van 2 miles away; it makes pulling additional sizes nearly impossible!
To sum things up– tt was absolutely the perfect first event.
Yesterday, we hosted a house party at the home of our Cabrillo High School campus rep, Justine. Justine’s school wasn’t able to accommodate a TOMS event at this time—but she didn’t give up! She spent weeks trying to find a suitable venue and eventually we came to the decision of hosting a Style Your Sole event and documentary screening at her house! We had a great time and sold a ton of shoes! It was a completely different experience from hosting a campus event— we were really able to connect with the event attendees and spent hours making new friends and painting shoes. The event was fantastic and we couldn’t be more proud of Justine for taking the initiative to do something great for her community.
I just want to take a minute to express how important this program is. TOMS isn’t just about the shoes; it’s about the greater idea of waking up everyday and making the conscious decision to have a positive impact on the world around you. I’m so proud to be part of the first team of TOMS Vagabonds and I cannot wait to see what all of us, together, can do. All for one and One for One
We come from all walks of life. Our backgrounds, personalities, and interests couldn’t be more different, but we were brought together because of our common interest—making the world a better, brighter place with TOMS. Over the past 2 months, we have laughed together, cried together, fought, made up, and became a team. We are family.
We are Vagabonds.
All our lovin’–
Rachel & Hannah, ‘Sole Sisters’
