I love to find out about companies that are making donations to those in need. In fact, I was tyring to have a whole blog about that but the time it takes to take care of one blog let alone two blogs, I just couldn’t do it. So, here is my first post on Momstart about a company giving back and how we can help.

“We believe in the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the good work it does with
children,” said Angela Edgeworth, pediped president. “We are blessed with
healthy children and feel compelled to make a difference in these children’s
lives. We initially pledged $50,000, but thanks to the generosity of our
consumers, we are confident we can double that. We’ve reduced the price of our
shoes, something we never do, as a way to give back to our consumers while
benefiting this worthy charity. We hope everyone shares in the spirit of giving
this season. Goodness knows people need it now more than ever. We should be
thankful every day for what we have.” pediped partnered with the Make-A-Wish
Foundation this year for the first time, and the collaboration has far surpassed
expectations, Edgeworth said. So far, pediped has raised more than $87,000,
enough to grant the wishes of 12 children with life-threatening medical
conditions. pediped Footwear scheduled four fundraising events this year, two
with donation matching and two from which it donated 50 percent of the total sales from select shoes.

Their shoes are usually 40 to 60 so these are great prices. Go shopping for some shoes and feel great about
where the money is going.
