Happy Birthday, TOMS!

I got an email this afternoon saying that TOMS Shoes turns 3 years old today!  Here are some cool facts that the email shared:

1. Over 140,000 pairs of shoes have been given to children in need.
2. TOMS gives in Ethiopia five days a week!
3. Over 74,000 people participated in One Day Without Shoes this year (which I think is an underestimate because what about all the people like me who sort of kind of participated?).

Yeah.  So that’s pretty awesome.  And their “birthday” would be the day before Hanson Day.  Come on, now.

UPDATE: So I was just on the TOMS website and I guess they sell a “gift pack” that includes the TOMS documentary and a gift card redeemable for a pair up to $50… and the whole pack sells for $50!  So you basically could buy a pair of $48 dollar TOMS and get the DVD free.  Plus, they donate a pair of shoes for each pack sold, just like they do for all their shoes and apparel and gear and stuff.  What ISN’T to love about the company?
