"We are delighted to be partnering with Lady Foot Locker and grateful for their efforts to raise awareness of the benefits of forests to us all," said Lea Sloan, VP of Communications at American Forests. "By supporting American Forests, Lady Foot Locker will contribute to cleaner air and water, increased wildlife habitat and many other environmental benefits that only forests and trees can provide."

Lady Foot Locker invites everyone to be a part of the green beautification conversation by creating their own "Spring Refresh" pinboards on Pinterest. From now through May 11, participants can "pin" their outdoor and fitness inspirations and the three most creative boards will be selected to win a $250 Lady Foot Locker gift card. The promotion will run alongside the national "Spring Refresh" in-store campaign, encouraging customers to lead a healthy lifestyle and rejuvenate their wardrobe.

"At Lady Foot Locker, we know that being a modern-day woman means balancing work, friends, family, fitness and everything in between. Within our social space, we are able to touch on all those facets, going beyond our products and storefronts. We want to be a place to inform and inspire," says Kirta Carroll, Director, Brand Marketing of Lady Foot Locker.
