"On behalf of National Down Syndrome Society, I am writing to thank you for your donation of 30 pairs of Okobos to the 2009 New York City Buddy Walk® that took place on Saturday, September 26 at the Great Hill in Central Park. Information about Okobos was distributed by volunteers wearing Okobos t-shirts in the Exhibitor's Marketplace, where participants spent time learning about our partners. . . . (See pdf for more information about NDSS and Okobos!)"

"Dear Michelle,
Truly there are no coincidences in life. Breeze M. introduced us to your company last year during our Telethon. Yours & Tom’s generosity was played forward by the United Way of the Inland Valleys. Courtney is doing an extraordinary service for our military personnel. My son was stationed in Afghanistan a few years ago so when Courtney mentioned her mission I wanted to help and immediately thought of OKOBOS.
Thank you again for all you do to advance the common good for all.
Kind regards,"

Dear Michelle,
What a wonderful person you are! So Sweet of you!
Thanks so much for all your help for the Boys Choir of Kenya….Hopefully in the future, when you have some time I'll like to take you to visit my Country (Benin Republique). In the meantime, please come back soon to St. Louis to visit me.
Love,"

"Hello Michelle,
I received a pair of Okobos for Christmas, and I love them! I have never looked at your website until tonight. What a wonderful and beautiful thing that you have created. If there is an opening within your company, I would love to be considered. Thank you for your consideration.
Hope you have a Wonderful New Years!"
