TOMS reached an incredible milestone last month, thanks to the support of customers and fans: 1,000,000 pairs of new shoes have been given to children in need around the world. In celebration of this remarkable milestone, we are offering the opportunity for you and your students to participate in the screening. The TOMS documentary will be shown, as well as exclusive footage from the 1 Millionth Shoe Drop and a “Thank You” from Blake Mycoskie, the founder<a href=”http://eagle-entrepreneur.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/speaker_blake_mycoskie4.jpg”><img class=”alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-846″ title=”speaker_blake_mycoskie” src=”http://eagle-entrepreneur.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/speaker_blake_mycoskie4.jpg?w=150″ alt=”” width=”150″ height=”150″ /></a> of TOMS shoes.
