Skechers announces third Pier to Pier Friendship Walk
US footwear brand Skechers has announced that it is teaming up with Kids Foot Locker for the third annual Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk to raise funds for children with special needs and education on October 30, 2011.
The Skechers Foundation is expecting more than 5,000 people in attendance and anticipating raising more than $500,000, thanks to the efforts of our generous sponsors, including the presenting sponsor Kids Foot Locker and many other local and national businesses.
“We are proud of the amount we have raised this year and the past two years,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “But when you think about all the children in need, it just isn’t enough. Working together, we will be able to give more and more children the chance to discover their strengths and passions, build caring relationships, and ultimately succeed.”
Travelling from the Manhattan Beach Pier to Hermosa Beach Pier and back, the 3.4-mile Pier to Pier Walk includes performances from local schools and activities for the family.
