Pediped® Footwear Hosts Purchases With Purpose to Benefit Children’s Charities

Beginning June 1st and running through July 3rd, pediped® footwear will host its Purchases with Purpose fundraiser to benefit children’s charities.  During this period, select styles of pediped® shoes will be marked down as much as 50 percent on pediped.com.  Half of the dollars from this sale will be earmarked to The pediped foundation™, which in turn donates 100 percent of the proceeds directly to children’s charities including the Make-A-Wish foundation.


Since the company’s inception six years ago, pediped® has been committed to bettering the lives of children and has provided over $1,000,000 in monetary and product donations to children's charities.  These donations include more than $445,000 to the Make-A-Wish foundation, which has helped to grant 60 wishes for children.  pediped® footwear also donated $80,000 worth of shoes each to the children of Haiti and to Japanese Earthquake victims.

In 2011, The pediped foundation™ was established to work with charities that are dedicated to the health, education, basic necessities and the personal fulfillment of children around the world. The management and employees of pediped® donate the resources necessary to fund The pediped foundation™ so that 100 percent of the funds raised go directly to these life changing charities.

“pediped® has always been committed to supporting causes that help children,” said Angela Edgeworth, Founder and President of pediped® footwear. “We are thrilled to offer this meaningful sale once again and we hope that everyone who loves pediped® footwear will go online and shop to make a difference."
