The MDRT Foundation recently gave Soles4Souls, a nonprofit that distributes shoes to the needy, a $75,000 grant and more than 3,500 pairs of shoes.
The money came from part of the $176,000 donated to the foundation by MDRT members at this year’s MDRT annual meeting, which took place June 5-8 in Atlanta. MDRT members also donated shoes at the meeting and at the foundation’s benefit concert, where admission was a pair of new or gently used shoes.
During the meeting, MDRT board members also joined Soles4Souls at the Atlanta Mission, a homeless shelter for men, to give out 1,000 pairs of the new shoes.
