"Scrubs" Star Donald Faison and VH1 "The Price of Beauty" Star CaCee Cobb will be present at the booth to sign autographs for fans. WSA attendees are invited to stop by the Soles4Souls booth during the signing hours for pictures and autographs with the celebrities. The stars will be present at the trade show to raise awareness for the shoe charity's efforts in Haiti.
"WSA is honored to partner with Soles4Souls to support the Haitian Relief effort. We are inspired by Soles4Souls' dedication to humanitarian efforts around the world. ENK International is committed to working together with the Footwear Industry to make a difference," said Pam Baffo, Director WSA.
Soles4Souls, in partnership with several donors from the footwear industry, has pledged more than 1 million pairs of shoes to the devastated region. Founder Wayne Elsey explains that the commitment is part of their sustainable efforts to help the region rebuild long after the news crews leave.
"We are excited that CaCee Cobb and Donald Faison have partnered with us to raise awareness for the overwhelming need in Haiti," said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. "Their long-time support of this charity has helped put thousands of shoes on people's feet all over the world, and will help us bring our ongoing message of hope for Haiti to the footwear industry."
Faison and Cobb are spokespersons for the charity and Cobb is currently featured in the www.50kshoes.com campaign with fellow VH1 stars Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves. The site is designed to raise funds for 50,000 pairs of shoes for the Haitian relief effort.
