The Team

Last Updated on Friday, 03 February 2012 09:03

OneSolePurpose has a dedicated team of professionals from all walks of life who are focused and excited to take on this challenge. Our Action Team is fully comprised of members who have normal, busy lives, families, and careers. This allows us to have team members with the experience and drive to accomplish the task. The Action Team is made up of the following people:

We have made it our priority to put as many funds towards the purchase of shoes as possible. We do have some overhead costs, (mainly to do with our website) but they are minimal. Most of our printing is donated; the fund raisers we host are business-sponsored so the money raised goes directly towards the purchase of shoes; and most importantly, our Action Team is completely volunteer-based. No one is paid for any of their services on this committee.  All volunteers hold full-time jobs outside of helping with this organization. It is never our intention that anyone should draw a salary, and we strive to keep all expenditures to a bare minimum.

Our Board of Directors not only provide guidance and financial oversight, but is active in the community and available to touch the hearts and lives of the children we are serving.
