The Public and Lincoln Earth Day Committee partner for TOMS "Style Your Sole" party

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, The Public and the Lincoln Earth Day Committee have teamed up to throw a TOMS Style Your Sole party. The event will take place at Lincoln’s Antelope Park on Saturday, April 24, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

What, exactly, is a Style Your Sole party?

It is an event where participants gather together and creatively customize their own blank canvas TOMS shoes. SYS party attendees can decorate the shoes themselves, or they can opt for local artists in attendance to add some decorative flair to the kicks.

“It’s a great way for people to get together, to share, and to be expressive,” says Jesse Flinck, director of operations for The Public.

Besides coming away from the event with a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes, SYS party participants are also lending a helping hand to those who may need it the most – for each pair of TOMS purchased, one pair will be given to a child in need, based on TOMS’ founding “One for One” philosophy.

To get in on the fun, SYS participants must go The Public (1033 O St.) on or before April 10 in order to get sized for TOMS shoes and register for the party. The registration fee of $50 covers the cost of a pair of TOMS and the supplies for the shoe customization.

Once registered, SYS party-goers need only to head over to Antelope Park on April 24, imaginations in tow, for an inspired and entertaining commemoration of Earth Day.
