Teaneck, NJ (December 5, 2007) - Aetrex, Eneslow and NFL veteran and CBS Football Analyst Phil Simms hosted a Monday Night Football Party to benefit Soles4Souls Charity Footwear Drive on Monday night. As firm supporters of Soles4Souls, Aetrex and Eneslow donated 2,000 and 1,000 pairs of shoes respectively, contributing to Soles4Souls mission to impact the lives of people around the world with an indispensable item many people take for granted.
The event was held in New York City at Eneslow, a recognized leader in footwear retail, and drew a football-loving crowd of over 200 who arrived with shoes-in-hand, raising the number of donated shoes that evening to 3,300 pairs.
"We're happy that we are in the position to help those less fortunate," said Larry Schwartz, CEO of Aetrex. "It was a great event with guests enjoying the opportunity to talk football with our spokesperson and football legend Phil Simms, all the while contributing to a great cause."
The event also provided an opportunity for guests to be among the first to see Aetrex's new line of ultra light-weight, sleek-styled performance footwear, featuring the highest standards in comfort, breathability and performance. The collection, 15 designs each for men and women, includes Runners, Cross Trainers and Trail Runners and combines Aetrex's unique pedorthic benefits with technologically-advanced materials.
Soles4Souls is a 501(c)(3) charity and distributes new and used shoes to people in need in over 40 countries on 5 continents.
