Review for Goodie Two Shoes Foundation, Las Vegas, NV, USA
I was on the Board of Speedway Children’s Charities in Las Vegas and the grant committee chair when I first learned about Goodie Two Shoes Foundation. I was incredibly impressed by their mission and how many volunteers they had.
In 2013, I was the Executive Director of Communications for a casino and hotel in Las Vegas and wanted to create an annual giving program that the team members would feel proud to be a part of, while donating and volunteering their time. I introduced the non-profit to our General Manager at the time and he fell in love with the program once he saw in-person how it impacted children directly in our community.
From that point on, Goodie Two Shoes became an annual tradition of giving at the casino/hotel. Each year, there was a month of collecting donations, creating team member unity and excitement, as well as volunteering each year at a shoe distribution event.
I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to help and volunteer for this exceptional non-profit organization right here in my community.
