TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One.

TOMS has relied on that simple concept of “buy to give” since its start in 2006 and it has paid off.

The difference has been felt around the world since and TOMS has given over 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in Argentina, Ethiopia, and South Africa.

Now you have a chance to join TOMS and give away shoes first-hand in Argentina. The TOMS Shoe Drop Sweepstakes allows any social change advocate the chance to participate in this amazing event.

You could be apart of the 300,000 pairs of shoes TOMS is predicting to give to children in 2009!

Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS, has dedicated his efforts to this cause ever since he met children in Argentina who had no shoes. Make sure you view the heart-touching video above.
