On April 8th, TOMS shoes is hosting "One Day Without Shoes." They are asking people to go the day, part of the day or even just a few minutes barefoot, to experience a life without shoes first-hand, and to spread awareness of the impact a simple pair of shoes can bring to a child's life.

As a RAW family, we'd like to participate. 

If you haven't already heard of them, TOMS (founded in 2006) is a shoe company that, for every pair of shoes purchased,  donates a new pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One. Since their beginning, they have given over 400,000 pairs of shoes to children all over the world. 

April 8, this Thursday, is their annual One Day Without Shoes. It's a day of awareness by action. They ask people to go about their daily lives, but do it with no shoes on. Currently, TOMS has over a thousand events and at least 30,000 people registered to participate by going barefoot. 

RAW is excited to be apart of it all and will be incorporating One Day Without Shoes into our showcase this Thursday. If you do not feel you can be barefoot the entire night, do not feel pressured. Maybe just commit to an hour and make sure to talk about why you're standing barefoot. Again, this is just a fun activity that can provide major awareness to audiences that otherwise will not be reached!
