Shop with Purpose This 4th of July Weekend at Finish Line

NASHVILLE, Tenn. and INDIANAPOLIS, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The Finish Line, Inc. and Soles4Souls invite customers to shop with a purpose during the 4th of July holiday weekend. Visitors to Finish Line are encouraged to donate $1 to Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity dedicated to providing shoes for people in need, when making their in-store purchases. Customers also can donate new and gently used footwear by dropping off shoes in the Soles4Souls collection bins located within any of Finish Line's 667 stores.

Soles4Souls also is proud to announce that Finish Line customers have already donated more than $200,000 in the first four weeks of our summer campaign, which ends on July 17th.  Finish Line is collecting monetary donations and shoes in an effort to assist Soles4Souls in providing 1 million pairs of shoes to victims of the Haitian earthquake. All funds collected (100 percent) will go directly to benefit Soles4Souls and its charitable efforts. During the past three years, Finish Line has collected more than 250,000 pairs of new or gently used shoes for Soles4Souls to distribute at home and abroad.

"Finish Line has taken on our cause as their own for the past 3 years, and we are extremely proud to partner with them once again to reach thousands of people who are suffering," said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. "Their generosity directly benefits people who need our assistance, and we invite everyone to stop by a Finish Line location to become personally involved," he said.
