a benefit to provide hope and shoes to children in …...the barefoot gala is an opportunity to kick...
TRANSCRIPT
Dear friends, Samaritan’s Feet is excited to announce our 9th Annual Barefoot Gala scheduled for November 7th, 2020 at the Le Meridien Charlotte. This event, along with your support, will provide shoes, education, healthcare, and hope to children around the world. All proceeds raised will go towards our mission to create a world with zero shoeless children. Samaritan’s Feet was founded in 2003 by Manny and Tracie Ohonme. Samaritan’s Feet is a non-profit 501(c)(3) that wants to inspire hope through the gift of shoes and the act of washing feet to those who need it the most. Children with no shoes are often not allowed entrance to education in many countries and can find their way into slavery, or unsafe and inexcusable child labor environments. Since our founding in 2003, Samaritan’s Feet and its partners have distributed over 7.1 million pairs of shoes in 108 countries and 400+ U.S. cities. The Barefoot Gala is an opportunity to kick off your shoes and enjoy a night full of laughter, fun, unique items up of bid, wonderful stories, a delicious meal, and the chance to make a difference by offering HOPE throughout the world. And after the program concludes, we’ll have a special after party with music and dancing just down the hall. This event is expected to attract over 500 individuals from corporations, foundations, and organizations in the Charlotte Metro area. Samaritan’s Feet would love for your company to be involved in this event, please see opportunities in the following pages. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our events team at [email protected] or call at 980-939-8150. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration and support from the Samaritan’s Feet family. Best, Manny & Tracie Ohonme Co-Founders Samaritan’s Feet International
