Good Lessons Learned Early On

Sharing. Something you learned about even before kindergarten. It's good to share. It's the right thing to do. You like it when people share with you. And now, I'd like to share some information on how you can share this year. GO! St. Louis and MERS/Goodwill have teamed up to collect 20,010 pairs of gently worn athletic shoes in 2010. GO! St. Louis is a local, non-profit organization that promotes healthy lifestyles and fitness through various programs in the community. This year is the organization's 10th anniversary, and they thought this would be a great way to give back and share with the community. All shoes collected will be donated to MERS Goodwill to help fund its mission to assist local people to find work and live more independently.

Our team here at PSG Marketing Solutions likes to share, too. We shared our expertise with GO! St. Louis and MERS Goodwill to help execute the "Share A Pair" intiative. We shared our cool idea of a "shoe mobile" to collect all donated shoes, then had it designed and manufactured.

So, check your closets and under your bed, and find those shoes that you haven't worn in a year. You can share them with someone who needs them. The Shoemobile will be at Chesterfield Mall from March 1 to 14, and South County Mall from March 15 to 30, 2010. For more locations, head to the GO! St. Louis website or click on the link here: http://www.gostlouis.org/shoemobile.html

Oh, and one more thing... How about sharing this message with someone?

  1. I love the idea of a "shoemobile" - its easy to give but its even easier if its close to your home. Will the "shoemobile" go on the road throughout the year?

    It should make an appearance at the MON office for a "day of 'shoe-me' the love for GO! STL"

  2. KB,
    We are trying to schedule the shoemobile throughout all of 2010. We already have a couple of mall appearances. Go!St. Louis will update their website with additions. The link is is in the blog above. Thanks for the comments and ideas!
