Community

Foot Locker, Inc. has a long history of assisting the local communities in which it operates by providing funds, products and/or supplies to enhance the lives of those in need. The Company supports well-established non-profit organizations, schools and youth centers, sponsoring unique educational and athletic programs that are designed to encourage young people to work hard to reach their full potential.

For instance, for nearly two decades, the Company has worked side-by-side with The Fred Jordan Mission on its annual back-to-school giveaway event, providing shoes and supplies to thousands of impoverished youths in downtown Los Angeles. In 2001, the Company established the Foot Locker Foundation to support opportunities to benefit today’s youth and help address issues that concern various communities around the world. The Foundation has successfully united the athletic industry by hosting an “On Our Feet” fundraising gala each year, the proceeds of which are donated to several worthy organizations -- the Twin Towers Fund, United Way, Reading is Fundamental and the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).

Over the past six years, Foot Locker, Inc. has contributed to the American Cancer Society's(ACS) annual “Making Strides against Breast Cancer Walk.” As a flagship sponsor, the Company raises funds for the event through contributions and the sale of Pink Ribbon products throughout its stores across the nation.

Foot Locker, Inc. also supports its international communities by contributing to organizations such as Save the Children, which provides assistance to those affected by natural disasters or unusual and extraordinary circumstances.

These are just a few of the ways the Company demonstrates its commitment to the communities in which it operates. Foot Locker, Inc. expects to continue to be an active supporter of worthwhile causes and organizations in the years ahead.
