SC4K Celebrates 40 Years<br />
of Providing <strong>Shoes</strong> <strong>and</strong> Clothing<br />
to Greater Clevel<strong>and</strong>’s Children<br />
Since 1969, <strong>Shoes</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Clothes</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> has positively<br />
impacted the lives of area<br />
children by giving them the<br />
pride <strong>and</strong> confidence that<br />
comes from having br<strong>and</strong><br />
new shoes <strong>and</strong> clothes. Pride<br />
<strong>and</strong> confidence that are<br />
essential to a child’s success<br />
in school – <strong>and</strong> in life.<br />
Founded by businessman Morrie Sayre as <strong>Shoes</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>, the organization<br />
initially collected used shoes <strong>and</strong> distributed them directly to the children<br />
in need. Later, the early founders raised money to purchase new shoes.<br />
The program eventually operated out of the Downtown YMCA <strong>and</strong><br />
later from the<br />
Clevel<strong>and</strong> Municipal<br />
School District’s<br />
Woodl<strong>and</strong> Data<br />
Center warehouse.<br />
Ten years ago, new<br />
clothing items were<br />
added to the<br />
distribution <strong>and</strong> <strong>Shoes</strong><br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> officially<br />
became <strong>Shoes</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Clothes</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Kids</strong><br />
(SC4K).<br />
SC4K now procures<br />
a majority of its clothing items through a direct purchasing program<br />
from a network of wholesalers that sell children’s clothing at deep<br />
discounts. SC4K is able to purchase $22.00 worth of br<strong>and</strong> new<br />
clothing <strong>for</strong> every $1.00 spent. In addition, SC4K also purchases <strong>and</strong><br />
distributes Payless ShoeSource shoe gift cards instead of shoes allowing<br />
families to purchase new shoes or boots of their choice that are stylish<br />
<strong>and</strong> fit properly at conveniently located Payless locations. These gift<br />
cards also help SC4K carry out its mission with compassion, care<br />
<strong>and</strong> respect.<br />
SC4K distributes only br<strong>and</strong> new items, including quality clothing basics<br />
like socks, underwear, t-shirts, pants, <strong>and</strong> coats. In 2009 alone, SC4K<br />
will distribute new clothing <strong>and</strong> Payless shoe gift cards with a retail<br />
value of over $1.8 million dollars. Our extensive partner distribution<br />
network consists of 37 social service agencies in the Greater Clevel<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Shoes</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Clothes</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Newsletter • Spring 2009<br />
area that each operate a distribution five to six times a year. SC4K<br />
charges no fees to its recipients or Distribution Partners <strong>and</strong> each year<br />
the program must be re-capitalized. SC4K is proud to report that of<br />
every dollar you give, $0.92 cents goes directly to the programs <strong>and</strong><br />
services that benefit the children we serve.<br />
The generosity of our volunteers <strong>and</strong> donors has been the cornerstone<br />
of SC4K over the years, allowing us operate efficiently with a staff of<br />
only three full-time <strong>and</strong> one part-time employee. More than 900<br />
volunteers provide direct service to the children by packing boxes in<br />
the warehouse, serving on boards, working in the office or s<strong>up</strong>porting<br />
SC4K at community events.<br />
As we enter our 40 th year<br />
of service to the Greater<br />
Clevel<strong>and</strong> community, we<br />
realize that the need is<br />
greater now than it has<br />
ever been. SC4K is<br />
working hard to address<br />
that need while creating<br />
new <strong>and</strong> innovative ways<br />
to involve <strong>and</strong> engage our<br />
s<strong>up</strong>porters. The 2009 Heart & Sole Luncheon on October 19 th will<br />
be a special celebration of the organization’s 40 th Anniversary, involving<br />
a display of historical in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>and</strong> a new video highlighting the<br />
organization’s work over the past 40 years. Please show your s<strong>up</strong>port<br />
by attending the luncheon, our biggest <strong>and</strong> most important fundraiser<br />
of the year.<br />
SC4K is confident that with your s<strong>up</strong>port, we will continue to make<br />
a positive impact on the lives on area children in need <strong>for</strong> the next<br />
40 years <strong>and</strong> beyond.

A Message from the Executive Director<br />
SC4K Celebrates 40 th Year<br />
It has truly been my honor to work alongside<br />
retiring SC4K Board Chair, Rocky Richardson.<br />
Over the past three years, Rocky brought<br />
enthusiastic leadership <strong>and</strong> genuine passion<br />
to her executive role <strong>and</strong> helped see the<br />
organization though both challenges <strong>and</strong><br />
successes. As Rocky moves into her new<br />
role as Life Director <strong>for</strong> the organization she will remain an important<br />
link. Her predecessor Terry Uhl has already hit the ground running<br />
with fresh enthusiasm <strong>and</strong> innovative ideas. Terry has been a longtime<br />
member of the Board of Directors <strong>and</strong> has provided significant<br />
guidance <strong>for</strong> SC4K’s strategic <strong>and</strong> public relations planning ef<strong>for</strong>ts.<br />
I am confident that Terry <strong>and</strong> I will work together with the rest of<br />
the Board <strong>and</strong> staff to continue the ambitious projects started by<br />
Rocky <strong>and</strong> her predecessors to ensure that <strong>Shoes</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Clothes</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
Kid will continue to have a positive impact on the lives of thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of deserving children <strong>for</strong> years to come.<br />

<strong>and</strong> Payless shoe gift cards with a retail<br />
value of $1,800,000.<br />
UPS <strong>and</strong> Associate Board Team Up<br />

Every other month, SC4K’s partner sites stretch their limited resources<br />
to pick <strong>up</strong> clothing items <strong>and</strong> shoe gift cards at the SC4K warehouse<br />
<strong>for</strong> distribution at their sites. At SC4K’s annual Care Day event,<br />
these items are delivered directly to partners saving the sites valuable<br />

stepped <strong>up</strong> <strong>for</strong> the second year to provide vehicles, route logistics<br />
<strong>and</strong> dozens of volunteers to make SC4K’s deliveries to all of the<br />
distribution partner sites. Members of the SC4K Board of Directors<br />
<strong>and</strong> Associate<br />
Board also<br />
participated<br />
in the deliveries.<br />
One distribution<br />
partner on each<br />
distribution route<br />

a site tour <strong>and</strong> shared in<strong>for</strong>mation about the services they provide.<br />
Channel 3 covered the event on their noon <strong>and</strong> evening news<br />

events, SC4K received a grant of over $6,000 from the UPS<br />

a new pair of children’s shoes to the party as an “entrance fee” to<br />
be donated to local children in need through SC4K. The line to<br />
enter was out the door as employee after employee h<strong>and</strong>ed over<br />
not only one, but sometimes two or three pairs of new shoes. The<br />
piles of shoes were bagged<br />
by volunteers from SC4K<br />
who generously donated<br />
their time <strong>and</strong> services.<br />
Thank you Hyl<strong>and</strong><br />
employees <strong>for</strong> this<br />
extraordinary donation.<br />

Dominion Sponsors Holiday Tree <strong>for</strong> SC4K<br />
For the second year, Dominion sponsored a holiday tree<br />

The tree was decorated with over 200 children’s winter<br />
accessory items that were donated to SC4K. The festival<br />
featured 50 sponsored <strong>and</strong> decorated holiday trees<br />
