If you’re in the OC and you’re not too caught up in G-Shock’s US Open of Surfing at Huntington Pier (which is mostly watching dudes sit and wait for waves… kinda like watching Wimbledon if they didn’t have ball boys… but on the bright side the regrettable tattoos and thongs provide endless entertainment) head over the The Camp in Costa Mesa. (Also funny, I think this place is also called “The Anti-Mall.” Wait, that’s The Lab across from The Camp. But a counter-culture/punk mall? Oh OC…) But enough poking parentheticals, here’s the gist:
And on August 3rd,Tom’s Shoes, Element, and Active join together for GIVE: a creative collaboration that will bring together some of Element’s top artists and Advocates including Brooke Reidt, Don Pendleton, Beck Hickey, and Todd Francis to customize Tom’s Shoes for customers. Or, purchase a pair and customize them yourself. All supplies will be provided.
Each Element artist will also be creating art pieces to be auctioned live at the event. A portion of auction proceeds will benefit Friends of Tom’s, a non-profit organization. Since 2006 Tom’s has given away over 68,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world and plans to give an estimated 200,000 pairs of shoes over the next year. For every pair you purchase, Tom’s will give a pair of shoes to a child in need.
One for One.
