TOMS Shoes is a most philanthropic company; they are a for – profit business with a very big heart. The company was founded by Blake Mycoskie in 2006. Mycoskie established the company after he witnessed extreme poverty in several countries including Argentina as a contestant of the “Amazing Race Contest” on CBS Television. During this event he noticed villagers young and old who could not even afford a single pair of shoes. In early 2002 he discovered the comfortable and unique farm shoe worn by the locals known as the “Aspartate”. (TOMS.com) Mycoskie fashioned a shoe after this style, one that was versatile, durable yet classic and cozy and had them manufactured in Argentina. Then Mycoskie returned to the United States armed with the shoes and a worthy mission. His mission and unique business proposal included calling on retail stores to sell his TOMS shoes, then for every pair of TOMS sold he would donate a pair of TOMS to a child in need. A Los Angeles boutique, American Rag, believed in the story behind the shoe and became Mycoskie’s first retail customer. “To his surprise, that weekend garnered him $88,000 in orders. Two years after officially establishing TOMS Shoes, the business had “$9.6 million in revenue.” (TOMS.com)

The co-founder of Toms travels to many different colleges to reach out to peers because he wants the new generations to be concerned and aware with different things. and helping others is one that everyone can do if they cant help by buying a pair they can help by not wearing shoes for 24 hours and that event that is called One Day Without Shoes, is targeted mostly to students because they are the ones with time and its a free advertising by
Social responsibility as well as social responsible clothing such as Toms, One for One support socially worthy causes that impact the trend of social responsibility. This brand validates social causes and those who lack physical goods and financial donations such as the one for one movement. TOMS shoes come in a variety of styles and color, and promises customers that every pair of shoes they purchase, a pair would go to someone in need. According to Joanne Fritz, “Mycoskie's idea took off to such an extent that TOMS has now expanded into sunglasses, using the same giveback formula, coffee, the purchase of which provides water where it's needed, and TOMS invests in other social entrepreneurial enterprises. in fact, the TOMS giving universe keeps on expanding and now includes nutrition, healthcare, and education.” (Joanne Fritz, 2016)
LTC (P) Pete Owens is faced with numerous challenges and issues as he is preparing to take command of 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). The 4th ABCT has command climate issues and disengaged leadership that needs to be addressed immediately because failure to address and correct these issues has the potential for the unit to be unprepared for the Regionally Aligned Forced (RAF) mission.

In the commercial, it talks about “With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.” I think every pairs of shoe they gave out to with the help of the organization they were able to distribute to the children that live in different part of the world. The founder of TOM’s shoe, Blake Mycoskie, travels to Argentina, he helps out children by gave them a pair of individual shoes like myself as a viewer was in touch by the fact that there’s people out there actually care about the conditions they live in running low with food and water. Ho uses a different approach to reach out to the viewer who gave him love and support. He wants the customers to get involved and be part of the TOMs program. The kids seem happy;

While the knowledge that many amenities that are expected in America are not remotely available in some regions of Africa is common, shoes usually do not top that list. While many American cities institute laws requiring those in public to wear shoes, some African villages find the concept of footwear foreign. The problem of shoelessness extends beyond just comfort, as foot injuries spread disease, create life long disabilities, and reduce the quality of living for many children. Giving shoes to these children, then, seems like a fitting answer to a desperate situation. Companies built upon that answer such as TOMS shoes, however, end up contributing to impoverished conditions that drive shoelessness rather than reducing it in the long run.
TOMS Shoes is a most humanitarian organization; they are a for – benefit business with a major heart. The organization was established by Blake Mycoskie in 2006. Mycoskie set up the organization after he saw outrageous destitution in a few nations including Argentina as a hopeful of the "Astonishing Race Contest" on CBS Television. Amid this occasion he saw villagers youthful and old who couldn 't bear the cost of a solitary match of shoes. In mid 2002 he found the agreeable and one of a kind ranch shoe worn by local people known as the "Aspartate". (TOMS.com) Mycoskie formed a shoe after this style, one that was adaptable, strong yet great and comfortable and had them fabricated in Argentina. At that point Mycoskie came back to the United States equipped with the shoes and a commendable mission. His central goal and one of a kind business proposition included approaching retail locations to offer his TOMS shoes, then for each match of TOMS sold he would give a couple of TOMS to a youngster in need. A Los Angeles boutique, American Rag, had confidence in the story behind the shoe and turned into Mycoskie 's first retail client. "Amazingly, that end of the week gathered him $88,000 in requests. Two years after authoritatively building up TOMS Shoes, the business had "$9.6 million in income." (TOMS.com)
Finally yet importantly, whenever a person buys Toms shoes, the company donates a pair of shoes to children in need who are in underdeveloped countries. They call this program "One-for-One". According to their website, their goal is to improve lives of children around the world. They have donated over 2 billion shoes so far. Therefore, by buying Toms shoes, not only we can satisfy our need for good shoes but also we can help children in poor countries to have shoes.

Toms does not spend on advertising and relies on word of mouth and social media. They distribute their shoes internationally (Anderson, 2015). The company targets Millennials who look for a positive social impact with their purchases (Westaway, 2014). Toms is all about “cause marketing”. They use traditional media, social media and events to market their product. They also host events such as “Get it Done” and “Style your Sole party” (Tribby, 2013). They also have a marketing initiative called “One Day Without Shoes” which is

One night in 1981, Jeff Munks, a police office in San Jose, CA responded to an urgent call and arrived at a residence where a Vietnamese immigrant who spoke no English was screaming and waving his arms agitatedly. Next to him, his son was having trouble breathing. After Jeff guessed what had been happening and immediately called for an ambulance, he kept thinking about emergency situations where danger is exacerbated because of a language barrier. This resulted in Telephone Interpretation being offered since that year. This service connects trained interpreters via telephone to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Individuals.
