Charitable Campaign to Help Local Children in Need Set for April 12-21
DOWNINGTOWN, PA, April 11 – OLLY Shoes, the Downingtown, PA-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.
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 in the Greater Philadelphia region in Ardmore, Collegeville, Exton, Newtown, North Wales, Paoli, Plymouth Meeting, Springfield (Delaware County) and Warrington in Pennsylvania, and in Cherry Hill and Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.
