OLLY Shoes Selects Cradles to Crayons for Charitable Initiative to Help Local Children

OLLY Shoes Selects Cradles to Crayons as Exclusive Beneficiary of its Spring 2013 “You Give, You Get” campaign: Charitable initiative to help local children in need set for April 12-21 – 

OLLY Shoes, locally based North American chain of children’s athletic, casual, seasonal and specialty footwear, has named Cradles to Crayons the exclusive beneficiary of its Spring 2013 “You Give, You Get” collection-reward campaign. This year’s drive will run in its stores throughout the Greater Philadelphia area from April 12-21.

OLLY Shoe customers who donate gently worn footwear at any local OLLY Shoes store will receive discounts as much as more than 25 percent off any purchase made.

OLLY Shoe stores in this area are located at Newtown Village South in Newtown and at The Shops at Valley Square in Warrington.

Cradles to Crayons addresses the acute effects of 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.

“We started our ‘You Give, You Get’ program as a response to the need of families in our store communities that could not afford to provide their children with footwear essentials,” said Kirby B. Lohff, OLLY Shoes president and chief executive officer. “We collect thousands of gently used pairs of footwear, which we provide to area charitable organizations. This spring,” he continued, “we are proud to continue our partnership with Cradles to Crayons.”

OLLY Shoe stores are located throughout the Greater Philadelphia region.
