Magnum Boots USA Steps in to Lend Support to Haiti
Modesto, CA (January 26, 2010) – Following the devastating 7.0 earth quake in Haiti earlier this month, Magnum Boots USA answers the appeal to fill the need of some basic human necessities-shoes. Recognizing that shoes are critical to help survivors locate others trapped in the rubble and safely begin the rebuilding process. Nine hundred pairs of boots and shoes were donated to soles4souls.org, which will be distributed to victims of the earthquake so they are able to safely reconstruct their lives.
“Our hearts go out to our Haitian neighbors as we struggle to comprehend the magnitude of this disaster, and we cannot forget how important basic necessities – such as shoes – will be in the ongoing rescue and rebuilding efforts,” said Bill Berta, CEO of Magnum Boots USA. “We deeply appreciate the work of Soles 4 Souls and encourage everyone to look into their own closets in support of this tragedy.”
