Season of Giving Robeez presents its annual Season of Giving campaign, a charitable initiative to donate shoes to infants in-need during the holiday season. For every e-card sent from the Season of Giving website, Robeez will make a $5 product donation via its charitable partner, Kids in Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.). It’s easy: one card = $5 worth of Robeez footwear; 10 cards = $50 worth of Robeez footwear, and on and on! A little bonus: For taking the time to send an e-card, Robeez is also offering senders a chance to win one of seven new Shoes and Socks Gift Sets. (They’re a great holiday gift idea too!). Robeez’ goal is to send a $250,000 product donation this holiday season. The campaign ends Dec. 20. You can send an e-card from seasonofgiving.robeez.com. Win on the Nest Egg Be sure to check out this week’s prize by GollyGeez Baby on the Babyvibe Nest Egg prize blog. |
