COMMUNITY
The Foundation of Our Core Values
A key value at Foot Locker, Inc. is the responsibility to
support the communities in which we live and work.
The Company created the Foot Locker Foundation,
Inc. in 2001 to channel its support for those in need.
Now, more than a dozen years later, the Company has
developed signicant partnerships, programs, and
initiatives to promote the key causes that connect so
closely with our customers, associates, suppliers, and
shareholders.
Our mission is to promote a better world for today’s
youth through educational initiatives and programs
that encourage health and well-being through physi-
cal activity.
In 2011, the Foundation launched The Foot
Locker Scholar Athletes Program, which reects
our Company’s core values and embraces our deep
commitment to education and excellence. The Foot
Locker Scholar Athletes program awards $20,000
college scholarships to 20 exceptional students a
year (totaling $400,000) who demonstrate academic
excellence and exemplify strong leadership skills
both in sports and within their communities.
In addition, we are proud of our long-standing
partnership with the United Negro College Fund and
the scholarship program we have created through our
annual “On Our Feet” fundraising event. Over the
years, the program has raised millions of dollars in
support of higher education, resulting in more than
700 scholarships awarded to extraordinary students
nationwide. The “On Our Feet” event will continue to
benet the Company’s educational initiatives as well
as other programs supported by the Foundation to
help young people.
We also contribute nancial support and, often
just as important, volunteer time and non-nancial
resources to other premier charitable organizations,
including the American Cancer Society, Fred Jordan
Missions, and the Two Ten Footwear Foundation. We
remain committed to encouraging our customers
to be more active and live healthy lifestyles through
partnerships to support facilities such as the Joe
Brown Park in New Orleans, as well as events such as
the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships, which
underscores our deep and rich sports heritage.
It is not just the Company that is generous
providing resources to worthy initiatives; many of
our associates are also recognized in their commu-
nities for the countless volunteer hours and nancial
commitments they make to the causes that inspire
them the most deeply.
