Fountain Donations At Miracle Mile To Benefit Goody Two Shoes Foundation!

As part of its Caring, Giving, Changing community campaign, Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino will collect donations in its fountain throughout September for Goodie Two Shoes Foundation (GTSF), a local nonprofit that provides disadvantaged children and children in crisis with new shoes and socks, as well as other items deemed essential for good health and positive development.
Through Sept. 30, all change tossed in Miracle Mile Shops’ fountain as well as the indoor rainstorm will benefit GTSF, which aims to reach 10,000 school-age children in need during each school year. Since 2003, GTSF has outfitted more than 50,000 Southern Nevada children with new shoes and socks.

Miracle Mile Shops’ partnership with GTSF is part of its Caring, Giving, Changing campaign, which raises funds for nonprofit programs and organizations through community sponsorships, additional partnerships and a number of cash and in-kind donations.

About the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation:
The Goodie Two Shoes Foundation provides disadvantaged children and children in crisis with new shoes and socks, as well as other items deemed essential for good health and positive development. Goodie Two Shoes programming is based on the premise that they don't just provide a child with a new pair of shoes but rather empower participants with choice, by giving them the opportunity to select any pair of high-quality athletic shoes they want from GTSF's traveling 48' mobile shoe-store-on-wheels, which visits them on-site at their school or referring agency. Each participant is measured to ensure proper fit and paired one-on-one with a community volunteer whom takes a special interest, and walks them through the process.

Each school year, September to May, GTSF strives to reach 10,000 school-age (Pre-K through 12th grade) children in need via 25 large-scale, highly-coordinated, on-campus shoe distribution events.
Since 2003, GTSF has outfitted over 50,000 Southern Nevada children in need with new shoes and socks; 20,000 children during their first nine years of initiatives and an additional 30,000 children in just the past three.

The Goodie Two Shoes Foundation is proud to be a 501c3 charitable organization. To learn more about the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation, please visit www.goodietwoshoes.org.
