Paint Soles for Souls is a fun team building charity program that lets your team tap their inner artists while giving to kids who can really use your help. The results? Vibrantly colorful footwear, lots of appreciative feet, plus happier, more engaged employees. It’s always an uplifting experience for everyone.

We supply all the fabric markers, paint, and glitter you need, along with your blank canvasses – shoes and tote bags in this case. But there’s more to this event than simply painting shoes and totes – your TeamBonding facilitator also leads fun trivia contests, team challenges, and more. Teams even put their heads together to come up with creative marketing campaigns.

Once your big day is complete, we’ll deliver your personalized shoes to a non-profit organization in South America for distribution to children. And for every pair given, TOMS helps provide access to mental health resources for millions of people around the globe.

This uplifting experience is a great way to remind everyone how good it feels to make a positive difference. It’s also remarkably effective at pulling teams together on a deep, heartfelt level. Everybody wins.
