OUR MISSION
The Fashion Footwear Charitable Foundation (FFCF) exists to transform the shoe industry's donations of footwear into dollars for first-step funding at leading breast cancer research organizations in the U.S. Now in its 30th year, FFCF's Shoes for a Cure is the largest fundraising event of the footwear industry, and has given over $60 MILLION to help find a cure!
OUR STORY
Shoes on Sale began as a shoe sale under a tent in Central Park in 1994. It was an inspired call-to-action of FFANY and co-founders Jodi and Jerome Fisher to join the generosity of the shoe industry alongside compassionate customers to raise funds to find a cure for breast cancer.
Fashion Footwear Charitable Foundation (FFCF) runs Shoes for a Cure, the largest fundraising event of the shoe industry. The foundation has donated over $60 million to fund first-step research at some our nation’s leading research organizations. Follow our journey @shoesforacure
