kigo footwear Launches Gratitude and Giving Program for Holiday Season

Nov. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- kigo footwear, minimalist shoes for the barefoot lifestyle, will celebrate the 2012 holiday season focused on gratitude and giving. During the months of November and December, the company will donate a portion of all online sales to a non-profit that is making a difference through its efforts to keep people healthy and empowered.

Between November 12 and 30, 20% of every purchase made at kigofootwear.com will be given to the Cancer Support Community Atlanta, affiliated with Northside Hospital Cancer Institute. With the driving belief that “no one should face cancer alone,” the organization works to optimize cancer patient care by providing essential services including support groups, counseling, education and healthy lifestyle programs. Since 2009, the Cancer Support Community Atlanta has touched thousands of lives through its efforts to offer highest quality, free-of-charge support for cancer patients and their families in a home-like environment in the heart of Atlanta.

“Partnerships like this mean so much to Cancer Support Community because it shares our efforts to support cancer patients and their families with the general population,” said Cancer Support Community Atlanta Executive Director Christy Andrews. “Giving people a way to help others is a form of grace, and doing that while also putting kigo footwear on their feet makes it a particularly fun endeavor. We’re honored to be the November partner and recipient for this great campaign.”

To celebrate and say thank you to its many enthusiastic customers, kigo footwear has created a dedicated page on the company blog, wegokigo.com, to highlight customer testimonials and to provide information about the selected non-profit company. As a show of gratitude, kigo footwear will also mark the annual Cyber Monday with the biggest site-wide sale in company history.

“Our intent is to use Cyber Monday, the traditional day of major online buying, as a way to generate even more funds for Cancer Support Community Atlanta,” said Kristin Serrano, Co-founder and COO of kigo footwear. “It’s our way to simultaneously thank our customers with really deep discounts, and also provide them with an avenue to do the most with their money by treating themselves to new kigos, while at the same time supporting the efforts of this incredible organization.”
