What do I mean by "create a plan?"

What do I mean by “create a plan”? 

This is the fun part.  Use your imagination and design a plan to earn a dollar.  Keep this simple and easy.  Have fun.   This will be your plan to to raise one dollar and raise awareness about homelessness by taking action.

Let me give you some examples.

My grandson, Cade is charging a penny per push on his swing set.  He is raising money and passing the idea on to other friends.  They will combine their “earnings” and contribute them toward their charity of choice. 

So, how does The Sole Challenge work?  Each person earns a buck and gives a buck!

•Make a decision to do something; remember, keep it simple.

•Design a plan of action-for example:  Caity’s Rake for a Buck Day, gather your friends together or spread the word using social media.  Ask all of them to work in their neighborhoods raking for one hour to earn $1.00!

All these dollars will add up and you can make a difference!

Your Sole Goal

Hang on!  What is The Sole Challenge?
I'm Roberta Little. I entered a contest and WON!!  For some unknown reason, I felt the need to write 500 words or less about how I might use 100 pairs of Crocs (the shoes) to make a difference in my community.  Oh, I forgot to tell you.  This contest is sponsored by O, The Oprah Magazine and Crocs.

If you watched the YouTube video of our first post, you understand my plan to raise awareness about children experiencing homelessness and the transformational power of art.  There were so many of you interested in helping, I am thrilled and amazed.  I am busy working on my plan, but I thought you might have fun creating your own.  The Sole Challenge is for you to initiate, design, and document.

There are more then 1,783 homeless students in the Lancaster area.


Let’s show Oprah and the world Lancaster cares!
