As a Company, we act responsibly towards our customers, associates, investors, and com-
munities. As we continue to elevate our nancial objectives, it is equally important for us to
elevate our community involvement. Just as Foot Locker, Inc. set nancial records in 2014, the
Foot Locker Foundation — our charitable arm founded in 2001 — also set a record in terms
of our support for young people. Our mission is to promote a better world for today’s youth
through educational initiatives and programs that encourage health and well-being through
physical activity. This past year, our annual “On Our Feet” fundraising gala was our most
successful ever, with record proceeds channeled to support the Company’s key educational
initiatives, including the Foot Locker Scholar Athletes Program, as well as our long-standing
partnership with UNCF.
In 2014, the Foot Locker Foundation also joined forces with the Two Ten Footwear Founda-
tion to bring the footwear industry together in celebration of Two Ten’s 75th Anniversary. The
event, chaired by our Executive Chairman, Ken Hicks, generated a record-breaking amount in
support of Two Ten’s important efforts to assist those within the footwear industry. In addition,
Kids Foot Locker Foundation launched a unique partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of
America, encouraging kids to participate in tness activities to lead healthier, active lifestyles.
Other notable endeavors included our support of The Fred Jordan Mission in downtown
Los Angeles, and the American Cancer Society.
Our Company’s deep commitment to community extends to our associates and has become
an intrinsic part of our culture. Our people take pride in adding value to our communities for a
myriad of causes and through a variety of means, including contributing nancially, coordinat-
ing local community events, or donating individual time and effort. The countless volunteer
hours and nancial commitments made by our associates to the causes that most deeply
inspire them have enriched communities the world over.
