Bucketfeet Shoes

Fiends, I would like to present to you a new sneaker brand by the name of Bucketfeet Shoes. Bucketfeet Shoes sells unique and limited edition sneakers that are created by artists from around the world that aims to raise funds and awareness for children's charities. Bucketfeet's goal is to help consumers get involved in the community by contributing a portion of each sale to one of three innovative, children focused, non-profit partners. The non-profit chairites are: MAGIC a world-class stringed instrument program for kids in the Woodlawn community in the South Side of Chicago, Love.futbol a program that devotes financial resources to help build more soccer fields around the world and Children Mending Hearts a program that provides arts programs and workshops for homeless children.





Bucketfeet's motto is "Buy a Shoe, Build a community", so to help build a community and save children's lives head on down to www.bucketfeet.com to purchase one of kind designs for your feet. :)

DEFINITION OF NGOs

A non-governmental organization (NGO) is any non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, national or international level. Task-oriented and driven by people with a common interest, NGOs perform a variety of service and humanitarian functions, bring citizen concerns to Governments, advocate and monitor policies and encourage political participation through provision of information. Some are organized around specific issues, such as human rights, environment or health. They provide analysis and expertise, serve as early warning mechanisms and help monitor and implement international agreements. Their relationship with offices and agencies of the United Nations system differs depending on their goals, their venue and the mandate of a particular institution. (more)
