About Us
Passion With Purpose
"Ever since I was a young girl, I have had an intuitive nudge from within--
I have known for some time that my 'path of purpose' is to help others.
Okobos® was founded with its heart deeply rooted in social responsibility."
- Michelle Juza, Founder, Okobos® Footwear
Michelle and Tom Juza have always given generously to causes. From raising $800,000 for the March of Dimes to donating tens of thousands of dollars to causes such as The American Cancer Society and The Einstein Project, helping others has been their passion.
With the Okobos® Foundation, the Juzas have taken their philanthropy a step further. They realized that most people want to help others, and will do so if they have access to a simple way to give. With Okobos® Footwear, the Juzas created a new business model that makes it easy for individuals to support causes and for organizations to promote corporate caring. Okobos® is a footwear company, a charitable foundation and a new way of doing business. Its focus is on sustainable profitability--revenues that give back to families throughout the world.
The Foundation's mission is to serve children in impoverished communities by creating a marketplace that generates not only awareness, but profits. By meeting the basic needs of food, water, medical care, shelter, and emotional and spiritual support, our mission is to help children all over the world realize their potential.
