HANDS-ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP: I’ll do a “billboard drop & demo ” with your school, company, or organization. This interactive workshop and introduction to social entrepreneurship is a fun way to share the paperfeet story and my personal journey. We’ll take the 80-pound chunk of vinyl, unroll it, and do collaborative brainstorming before creating functional gear of our own. Organization is responsible for travel costs.

YOUR BILLBOARD BLAST: we will create and print a full-size billboard to honor you and your company or organization. The ad will be displayed at the launch party, blogged about online, photographed, tweeted, facebooked and more. Have you heard of iwearyourshirt.com? We'll give your company the same opportunity for innovative promotion and, if you wish, we can eventually turn your ad into our next set of shoes or other innovations.
