The Sundt Foundation, in partnership with Payless ShoeSource in Tucson, helped kids take a step in the right direction by providing them with free footwear and socks last week.
The Foundation, which is funded by Sundt employee-owners and the company, made a $2,000 grant to the Educational Enrichment Foundation to hold a shoe-shopping party for Tucson Unified School District students. Eight volunteers from Sundt helped more than 100 in-need kids select and try on shoes. Payless offered the shoes at a discounted price and opened the store an hour early just for the children.
“There really is no other experience quite like it,” said Sundt Foundation Board Member Randy Rusing.
The Sundt Foundation helps underserved children and adults in places where our company does business. The organization has made more than $7.2 million in grants since it was formed in 1999.
