Kicks for a Cause is a non-profit organization founded by seven students at the University of Southern California. With art as a vehicle, Kicks for a Cause seeks to empower Los Angeles Area students to use their creativity to impact change both in their own lives and on a larger scale. By transforming previously all-white shoes into a colorful representation of a local, national or global social issue of their choosing, students will have the opportunity to sell their customized sneakers at the benefit of themselves and their greater cause. Kicks for a Cause is knowledge, creativity, philanthropy and entrepreneurship channeled into a canvas in motion.
We will continually update our MySpace page to tell you of our progress and show you pictures of what we’ve done. Please check back!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone and everyone interested in buying our custom kicks! Not only will they be an awesomely unique piece of art for you, but they will also benefit the lives of others. Once completed, all shoes will be available on our Web site: www.kicksforacause.net Also, please e-mail us at kicksforacause@gmail.com for information on the locations of the events where our shoes will be showcased. Some of the shoes will be auctioned and some will be posted in local shoe stores in Los Angeles over the next couple months. Keep checking MySpace for updated photos of the shoes and bios and on the students who made them!
