Corporate Philanthropy
Foot Locker, Inc. has a long history of supporting the local communities where it operates by pro-
viding funds, and athletic footwear, apparel and equipment where they are most needed. In late
2001, the Company stepped up its charitable efforts by establishing Foot Locker Foundation, Inc.
for the purpose of raising and donating funds to worthy causes.
This year, Foot Locker Foundation, Inc. held its fourth annual “On Our Feet” fundraising event
to benefit the United Negro College Fund. The Foundation raised funds through the donations of
the Company and various organizations and individuals associated with the athletic industry. In
prior years, the Foundation has supported the Twin Towers Fund, the United Way of New York City
and Reading Is Fundamental.
For the past 15 years, The Fred Jordan Mission has been one of the most important charities
Foot Locker, Inc. has supported, providing shoes and school supplies to underprivileged youths
throughout downtown Los Angeles. Foot Locker associates from the surrounding area properly fit
approximately 5,000 students with athletic footwear in time for the start of the school year.
The American Cancer Society is another important charitable organization that the Company
supports. Across the nation, over 700 Foot Locker employees participated in the “Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer” walk in 2004, raising money for cancer research and awareness, as well as
giving emotional support to thousands of survivors. The Company also raised money for the
American Cancer Society through the sale of Pink Ribbon tee shirts in Lady Foot Locker stores
across the nation. Foot Locker, Inc. is currently a flagship sponsor as a result of its donations
over the last two years.
Foot Locker, Inc. also supports the United Way through Company-sponsored programs. One of
these programs, “A Day Off for a Day's Pay,” allows associates to donate a day's wages in exchange
for a day off. Associates also donated their personal time and toys to the United Way Toy Drive
during the holiday season.
The Company is proud of its role as a responsible corporate citizen, and looks forward to con-
tinuing its philanthropic and community support activities as it strives to deliver another suc-
cessful year in 2005.
