Sippin' for Soles Fundraiser 
 
 
Live Music and Wine Tasting

Vino Bello - 636 SW 152nd St - F, Burien
Help bring soles to Haiti......one sip at a time!

Nashville-based Soles4Souls®, one of the fastest growing charities in North America, facilitates the donation of both new and used shoes. Collecting shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you, the charity has, to date, donated over 8 million pair of shoes to people in need - both in the US and around the world. Over 1.5 billion pair of shoes lay idle in American closets, over 300 million children around the world are without shoes. Soles4Souls® has a simple mission: To impact as many lives as possible with the gift of shoes.

Sippin' 4 Soles is a fundraiser aimed at helping support the work of Soles4Souls® in Haiti. In August, Seattle native (and friend of Vino Bello), Ruth Clark, will be traveling to Haiti with Soles4Souls®, delivering and distributing shoes to those in need. The tax-deductible donations raised at Sippin' 4 Soles will go directly toward this Haitian relief trip, providing shoes and other necessary relief to those affected by the massive earthquake this past January.

Please join us for wine tasting, hors d'oeuvres, live music with The Fabulous Po' Boys...raising money to Help bring soles to Haiti......one sip at a time.

$25 per person suggested donation gets you all the fun you can stand. Donations of check or cash will be used to provide shoes to Haitians in need. Please do not bring shoes.
