On Tuesday, October 21st Foot Locker Foundation, Inc. hosted the eighth annual “On Our Feet” fundraising Gala in New York City’s renowned Rainbow Room. For the past five years, the event has benefited the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) through a scholarship program to provide deserving students the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

The dress code was black-tie and sneakers, and the result was impressive. Business executives, athletes and celebrities brought their A game, breaking out quality kicks that shined bright like the NYC skyline that surrounded us.  I’ll never wear wingtips again.  Enjoy.

On October 2, Foot Locker joined the Fred Jordan Mission (www.fjm.org) to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the annual Back-to-School Giveaway. Since the first Back-to-School Giveaway in 1988, Foot Locker has worked to provide thousands of shoes and socks to underprivileged children in Los Angeles. The area known as “Skid Row” is transformed into a huge Foot Locker store, with more than 60 Foot Locker associates on-hand to ensure that each child is custom-fitted with the perfect size shoes.
