Shoes that fit

When school starts in the USA, the "Shoes that fit" campaign also gets going. RACK ROOM SHOES has been supporting this cause for many years. This year, the DEICHMANN subsidiary has been able to help the campaign by raising a record sum of over a million dollars. Customers donated over 655,000 dollars in the branches and online, and RACK ROOM SHOES added a little bit more to this, taking the final total to a level that had never been reached before. The money is then distributed to the schools in the neighbourhood. They then find the classes and the children from poorer families that cannot afford any new shoes. With the donation, "Shoes that fit" is able to give them new shoes so that the children can start the new school year well equipped – in "shoes that fit".

Shoes for Kids

For over 15 years now, RACK ROOM SHOES and OFF BROADWAY SHOE WAREHOUSE have been organizing a golf tournament, the proceeds of which are donated to the "Duke Center for Living" in Durham, North Carolina – or, to be precise: the Clinic's Heart Center. Employees from Administration and Sales take part in the tournament, along with contract partners. The "Duke Center" offers a wide range of health and therapy programmes that are tailored to patients' needs and thus offers major benefits to people's health.

For the eighth time now, RACK ROOM SHOES has supported a charity action in the southern US city of Houston, Texas. Children in need were provided with a total of 3,000 pairs of athletic shoes. Around 50 colleagues volunteered for the campaign in Austin High School and helped set up the shoes and distribute them to the kids. Over the years, RACK ROOM SHOES has donated over 20,000 pairs of shoes to children in need in Houston.
