Soles4Souls(R) Inc., The Shoe Charity, Announces Partnership with Christian Recording Group NoBlurr(TM)

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Soles4Souls has partnered with the Christian band of musicians NoBlurr for a two year campaign to help raise funds and increase public engagement to help people around the world without shoes. The members of NoBlurr have served Willow Creek Community Church domestically and internationally for more than 15 years, and are now expanding their music ministry outside the walls of the church, bringing the cause of Soles4Soles with them.

"Soles4Souls helps bring change to the lives of many through the provision of a simple pair of shoes," said Camille Eisman, member of NoBlurr and Worship Leader at Willow Creek. "We hope to use our music and our passion to bring change to put shoes on the feet of thousands, perhaps even millions."

The funds collected from NoBlurr's concerts will be used to by Soles4Souls to distribute shoes to some of the 300 million children worldwide without shoes.

"We are excited about our long-term partnership with NoBlurr," said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls, Inc. "We support their international message of service and feel a simple act of service can change a life. We are thrilled that they are helping us take the message of hope around the world."
