Anybody know how much they give percentage wise?  Thanks for the info.  I do New Balance is also involved.  They were recommended on one of the morning shows as big givers, as well as WIlson.  Thanks, Maryiz

Mary,

I don't know percentage wise and don't know if that info is, or has ever been released.  It does say "net profits" and that varies from year-to-year depending on sales.  To me, "net profits" means what's left after expenses.  As far as fundraisers go I believe this is a good one and I do intend to indulge in at least one pair of shoes.  The fundraiser continues online for the entire month of October.
