There are only 8 days left in the 50,000 pairs in 50 days challenge. We are blown away at the generosity of everyone who has contributed to this campaign. Financially, that is almost $30,000 raised for shoes in just a little over a month. Amazing!
We are still far (38,000 pairs) from reaching the goal of 50,000 pairs of shoes so if you can give another $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 dollars — every penny helps in a big way! It would be a Christmas miracle to reach 50,000 shoes but I know it can happen!
Remember everyone who gives is automatically entered into a chance to win a trip for you and a guest to Mexico to hand deliver the shoes you purchased to people who have never owned shoes before. How amazing is that?! The more you donate, the better your chances!
This week, the highest donation will receive a football autographed by Albert Haynesworth from the Tennessee Titans!
Please donate today – http://www.50000shoes.com…and spread the love!? Remind your blog readers, your address book, your office, your youth group, your mom.? I really believe this can happen! But it’s gonna take all of us!

Hey Anne,
I believe this can happen too! I just blogged a little contest to try and get people competitive!;)
I know it will be hard to not take this as a failure, but you pointed out that a lot was accomplished, thousands of shoes given to children who need them and that is not a failure.
15,000 shoes in 50 days works too.

Sorry, I forgot to post the link.
We had our kids take up $5 bills in both services yesterday — $160 for shoes. Not bad for impromptu giving. I also wrote another blog post. God’s already done an amazing thing, considering the financial time we’re living in.
We are all over it here in south Alabama at least, keep it going :)
just did
Thanks for the reminder! Better late than never–My donation was made in honor of my friend, Roxanne, who lost her husband a year ago.
Merry Christmas!!!
I hope you guys reached your goal and hope you’ll update us when Flowerdust returns
