This year for One Day Without Shoes at Eastern Michigan University, I planned a Barefoot Dodgeball event on my college campus.  I had never planned  a big event like this on my own so I was pretty nervous about how everything would go at first!  However, after reflecting on everything, I would say I learned a lot of…

My name is Lydia Dippre and I am a Junior at Cross Creek Early College High School in North Carolina.  My freshman year, during a study hall, I was given the task of speaking publically about a topic of my choice. I decided to give a presentation about TOMS and their mission. Everything kind of escalated from that point. These days, I am known throughout the school for wearing TOMS! Now in my junior year of high school, I plan to wear TOMS to the junior/senior prom, as well as to this year’s…

Listening to a song can bring back memories you had almost forgotten! We asked a handful of TOMS employees what song they remember being played at their prom. It was so fun to recap with everyone and listen to each song (and see how music has changed over the decades). We hope that you have a memorable song at your prom this year. Years from now, it will bring a big smile to your face when you think about it!  

Stay tuned to our TOMS Campus Programs…

Since TOMS is geared to giving shoes to children, the University of North Carolina – Charlotte (UNCC) TOMS Campus Club wanted to participate in a volunteer event that works with children as well. After exploring a few different options, we found out about a lunch buddy program from a fellow student who had done it at another school. Our club found our specific program through reaching out to the local school system.
