Pledge the Pink will conduct a shoe drive fundraiser until Tuesday, May 14, to raise funds to fight breast cancer. Funds2Orgs will issue a check based on the total weight of the pairs of gently worn used and new shoes collected by Pledge the Pink.

Shoes will be collected at Tellus360, 24 E. King St., Lancaster; Bespoke Brewing, 226 Gap Road, Ronks; Uller's Outdoor, 1031 Haines Road, York; Alltypes Insurance, 35 E. State St., Quarryville; Formula Fitness, 2495 E. Lincoln Highway, Lancaster; Strasburg-Heisler Library, 143 Precision Ave., Strasburg; and Sneaker Den, 3822 W. Lincoln Highway, Downingtown. All sizes and styles of shoes for men, women, and children will be accepted.

All donated shoes will be redistributed through the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise (small business) partners. Funds2Orgs works with micro-entrepreneurs in helping them create, maintain, and grow small businesses in developing countries where economic opportunities and jobs are limited. Proceeds from the sales of the shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers are used to feed, clothe, and house the entrepreneurs' families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school. Additional information about Funds2Orgs is available at https://funds2orgs.com.
