National Barefoot Week, June 1-7, 2011
Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity dedicated to providing shoes to people in need, will sponsor National Barefoot Week June 1-7, 2011. The week begins with National Barefoot Day on Wednesday, June 1. The charity is asking Americans to choose one day during the week to go barefoot--at the office, at school or in public-- to raise awareness for the millions of people worldwide who live in extreme poverty and can’t afford shoes.
Celebrities are lending their support of Barefoot Week, including Sarah Jessica Parker, the Kardashian sisters, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chelsea Handler, and others.
The American Association for Nude Recreation is celebrating National Barefoot Week with a fundraising campaign called "Bare From the Toes Up!"
