Upset that such a simple need was going unmet, he created TOMS Shoes. With every pair purchased, TOMS gives a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Later that year, TOMS returned to Argentina to hand-deliver 10,000 pairs of shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Since its beginning in May 2006, TOMS has given over 400,000 pairs of shoes to children in need through the purchases of caring customers, and the One for One movement continues to gain followers around the world.<\/p>\n<p><!--sidebar--><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/spotlight-schedule\/walk-in-my-shoes\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #a71c00\">&lt;&lt; Back to Spotlight<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #a71c00\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h1>Spotlight Resources<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/spotlight-schedule\/walk-in-my-shoes\/muslim-in-america\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Muslim in America\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/files\/2010\/08\/muslima.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/spotlight-schedule\/walk-in-my-shoes\/muslim-in-america\/\"><strong>Muslim in America<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/toms-shoes-acu\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-567\" title=\"toms\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/files\/2010\/08\/toms.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/files\/2010\/08\/toms.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/files\/2010\/08\/toms-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/files\/2010\/08\/toms-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/files\/2010\/08\/toms-78x78.jpg 78w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/files\/2010\/08\/toms-48x48.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/cornerstonef13\/toms-shoes-acu\/\">TOMS Shoes @ ACU<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 13th, Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, will be speaking in Chapel at 11:00.
