Sons Of Anarchy Star and the A.S.N. Need Your Shoes To Help Our Military

Sons of Anarchy star Rusty Coones(Quinn),owner of Illusion Motorcycles and guitarist for Attika 7, his wife K.O. along with the American Soldier Network are working to shoe the shoeless, give willing citizens a chance to work and donate funds thru A.S.N, to pass on to further benefit its continuing campaigns for the U.S. military wounded and recovering soldiers.

Coones, an ardent supporter of military-based causes and support including numerous motorcycle fund-raising rides, and Annie Nelson, the head of the American Solider Network partnered in a Used Shoes Campaign to act as a three-fold program: to refurbish used shoes for citizens of impoverished and communities in 3^rd World Countries, employ local workers by giving them a trade and repairing and refabricating donated footwear and finally, to create enough support to reach their goal of 30,0000 donated pairs as a bridge to a $10,000 donation check to aid America’s combat wounded and combat injured by using the monies to aid the American Soldier Network 7^th Annual Christmas S.W.A.G. Bag (Showing Warriors America’s Gratitude) campaign. Recycle, Employ and Donate is their program’s mantra. In addition, the program will help alleviate some of the 630+million shoes that are thrown into land fills every years creating chemical compound breakdown nightmare. The Campaign hopes to help create similar programs to help not only heal those who are without but to also help heal the environment.

The goal is set for 30,000 pairs of slightly worn shoes, boots, sneakers to be refurbished and sent FREE to communities and with these act of goodwill, local workers will earn a paycheck for their expertise with the end game being substantial monetary funding for the Wounded Warrior organization. Just like in Charming, a SON is working to make his home a better, cleaner and more charitable place.

The Deadline for donating shoes (25 pairs per hefty bag, tied) is OCTOBER 27, 2013 with the FINAL DROP DAY PARTY at the SHOE HQ ILLUSION MOTORCYCLES (see below) from 11:00 am -4:00 PM. Donations hours are Mon-Fri from 9am to 5PM. For an appointment or donation contact Katherine at 714-894-1942. Numerous other drop-off sites listed below.
