Making a Difference: Pediped Footwear
Over the last seven years, Henderson based children’s footwear company pediped® has become globally recognized as a company of integrity, innovation and style. And let’s not forget generosity! Since as early as 2005, the company has shown a remarkable philanthropic side, donating both money and their signature shoes to the likes of the Make-a-Wish Foundation and those in need in Haiti. In 2011, they’re at it again, helping children take those important life-affirming steps.
In January of this year, pediped® launched their official charity extension called the pediped foundation™ with a mission to enhance the lives of children and provide financial support to like-minded charities. That goal saw early fruition in March with the donation of $240,000 in shoes to the Southern Nevada Urban League WIC program and Sunrise Children’s Foundation, and again on May 21 when they donated $5000 to the Children’s Heart Foundation.
“pediped has always been committed to supporting causes that help children,” said Angela Edgeworth, President of pediped footwear. “We are thrilled to be able to support children in our own community through the pediped foundation with these donations.” For more info about the pediped foundation™ and to get involved, visit www.pedipedfoundation.org.
