Walk for Shoes

Apr 08 - Athens, Georgia

All students, faculty and Bulldawg fans alike are invited to join the UGA TOMS Campus Club in a one mile barefoot walk around the University of Georgia campus to support One Day Without Shoes! We will meet on the West Lawn of Tate Plaza and begin our walk from there!

The TOMS at UGA Campus Club will be hosting a one mile barefoot walk on One Day Without Shoes. For every person that walks with us, $1 will be donated to provide shoes for children in need.

Please pledge your support and register to walk with us online at OneDayWithoutShoes.com

Of the planet's six billion people, four billion live in conditions inconceivable to many. Lets take a step towards a better tomorrow."
