TOMS: Not only a shoe company, but a One for One company
Many of you may have heard of TOMS Shoes before. TOMS is by far one of my favorite companies today that not only produce an amazing product, but are looking to help others. TOMS is known for their revolutionary idea of the One for One business model. When you purchase a pair of shoes, TOMS will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need. Founder and CEO, Blake Mycoskie, has decided to expand this One for One model and make TOMS not only a shoe company, but a One for One company.
TOMS is now selling sunglasses!!
When you purchase a pair of these new sunglasses, they are going to give the gift of vision to people in other countries, starting in Nepal, Cambodia and Tibet. The idea of giving vision…seems hard, but they way they describe their goal is to give medical exams, a pair of prescription glasses, or a vision saving surgery to a person in need.
Honestly, I am blown away by Blake and his passion for his company. I have made it a goal to someday be involved with TOMS and the TOMS One for One movement. I love this new idea they have, and hope you do too!
