OLLY Shoes Reaches Milestone in Donation-Discount Campaign Supporting Cradles to Crayons
OLLY Shoes’ “You Give, You Get” Footwear Donation-Discount Campaign Achieves Major Collection Milestone in First Week: Campaign supporting Cradles to Crayons’ efforts to help disadvantaged children ends October 28
“We’re just halfway through this year’s OLLY Shoes’ Annual ‘You Give, You Get’ footwear donation-discount campaign in support of Cradles to Crayons, and we’ve already eclipsed last year’s record number of donated shoes!”
That was the upbeat news delivered by Kirby B. Lohff, president and chief executive officer of OLLY Shoes, the Downingtown, PA-based North American chain of children’s athletic, casual, seasonal and specialty footwear. “And that does not include the hundreds of pairs of new
footwear that we anticipate receiving from some of this nation’s top manufacturers in support of OLLY Shoes’ campaign to support Cradles to Crayons’ efforts to help area children living in poverty.”

OLLY Shoe customers who donate gently worn winter coats, snow boots or fall footwear at any local OLLY Shoes store will receive discounts as much as more than 25 percent off any purchase made. This year’s drive continues in the local OLLY Shoes store at Newtown Village South through October 28.
Cradles to Crayons, the exclusive beneficiary of OLLY Shoes’ Third Annual “You Give, You Get” campaign, addresses childhood poverty by collecting and providing new and nearly new daily essentials – clothes, footwear, books, toys and school supplies – to local low-income and/or homeless children, birth through age 12.
