Cinderella Cast saves ’souls’
June 9th, 2010I just wanted to take a moment to thank the wonderful Spring academy Cinderella cast, parents, and supporters for all of their help with the Shoes for Orphan Souls shoe drive. In lieu of purchasing tickets, patrons were asked to bring shoe donations to the show, and local businesses like Wool & Company in Geneva, Learning Express in G
eneva, and It’s A Girl Thing in St. Charles all served as drop-off centers as well.
It took a team to collect all of these shoes & socks! The official grand total of collections was 131 pairs of shoes, 195 pairs of socks and 4 pairs of show laces!!
As I shared with the girls last night at the Shoe Packing Party, when I went on a mission trip to Honduras a few years ago I was surprised to see many children walking around on the dirt roads without any shoes on their feet! Many children around the world have never owned a pair of shoes. It is hard for us to fathom that here in the United States, but it is true. I think we all will go to bed tonight feeling very grateful to know each other and to know that our daughters played a big role in bringing happiness to a child…all through the gift of a pair of shoes and/or socks!
