Please Help Me Go On a TOMS Giving Trip and Fulfill My Bucket List Dream!

I have wanted to go on one of TOMS Giving Trips every since I learned about them. In fact, TOMS is one of the first companies I wrote about when we started StyleSubstanceSoul because I loved the idea that, for every pair of shoes sold, they donated a pair to a child in need. (You can read my 2008 post here.)

So, when TOMS announced that they’re getting ready to staff their upcoming trips, I immediately applied. They will be selecting 50 volunteers to come with them out of what looks like thousands of applications.

I need your vote!

All you have to do is CLICK HERE. It will open my personal page, which looks like this:

 

When you click on “Vote for Me,” it will ask you to log in or register. If you don’t have a TOMS account, all you have to do to register is give an email address and password. Don’t worry about receiving unwanted email — you can just un-check the “Get updates” box. Once you’re registered, it will take you back to my page so you can click on “Vote for Me.” It would be so great if you could share my page on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest, too!

This trip would truly be a dream come true for me, and I really appreciate all your support. Like I say in my entry, I can’t think of anything more fulfilling than having to change the name of StyleSubstanceSoul to StyleSubstanceSole!
