Houston, TX – BlackCelebrityGiving.com (BCG) and Trill Rap Artist/Professor Bun B are very pleased to announce the 2012 fall cause campaign: “The Sole Drive”, a worldwide shoe drive to provide shoes for free, for those who are most in need. The objective is to raise 20,000 pairs of shoes, to be donated to 20 select organizations around the world for distribution to those suffering from poverty and financial hardships worldwide. To date, there are 2.2 billion children in the world; 1 billion of those children are living in poverty, not to mention the countless parents, women and men who suffer from poverty as well.
BCG is very thrilled to partner up with Rap Artist and Professor (at Rice University in Houston, Texas) Bun B of the Grammy nominated Legendary rap group, UGK. Bun B has a passion for shoes, like most of us, and is very in tuned with the struggle and is honored to have the opportunity to team up with BCG moving forward. Powered by SnoBall.com; the campaign is also supported by DJ Mars, who’s the official event and campaign DJ. Quote from Bun B aka Bernard Freeman below:
“As much as I love shoes, it doesn’t hold a candle to the love I have for the people of this world, especially those who can’t necessarily help themselves. Partnering with Sole Drive makes nothing but good sense to me. I’m proud to be a part of this movement.” – Bun B
