do YOU know a celebrity?
Think Hollywood, sports, television or music. We're always on the lookout for celebrity-signed shoes for our annual shoe auction (June 2011), and every pair donated to GTSF allows us to, in turn, outfit dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of disadvantaged children. It's a win-win for everyone!
These amazing and generous celebrities have all stepped up in the past to support the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation by donating autographed shoes, cleats, or boots to support our cause:
- Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman
- Celebutante Paris Hilton
- Singer Jessica Simpson
- Pro skaters Tony Hawk and Kenny Anderson
- NFL stand-out LaDainian Tomlinson
- NHL future Hall of Famer Junior Seau
- NHRA 14-Time World Champion John Force and racing phenom Ashley Force Hood
- Tennis legend Andre Agassi

- Philanthropist and NFL star Warrick Dunn
- Multi-talented Justin Timberlake
- Former New England Patriot and 14-season NFL veteran Tedy Bruschi
- Snowboarding Phenom Shaun White
- Country Superstar Tim McGraw
- PGA Pro Golfer Martin Laird
Can you put your best foot forward and hook us up? This year's wish list includes: Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Jackie Chan, Mike Rowe, Kim Kardashian, Cher, all of the Bravo housewives from coast to coast (have you seen their closets?), Muhammed Ali, Tony Stewart, Kevin Williams, Alex Rodriquez, and Tony Romo!
