ANNUAL REPORT
shoes and clothes for kids
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the board of directors, staff and volunteers, thank you for your continued support.
We know there are many worthwhile charitable causes deserving of community investment and
we are grateful for the support we received in 2011.
The board and I continue to work closely with our talented staff to ensure our expenses remain
as low as possible, that we continue to focus on our mission of serving Cleveland’s neediest
children and that we regularly communicate our progress to our key stakeholders.
As I end my three year term as chair, you should know the board is very happy with the
direction of the organization, the skill and dedication of the staff towards our mission and the
prospects for our future. While we wish the need to help children would diminish, we in fact
are preparing for meeting an even greater number of needy children.
My successor, Scott Simon, is the perfect choice to lead the organization the next two years and
I know you’ll enjoy hearing from him about SC4K activities.
I urge you to review the 2011 annual report in detail to learn more about our efforts during the
past 12 months.
Many thanks for your support of Shoes and Clothes for Kids,
Terence J. Uhl
Chair
Valerie F. McCormack

more than new outfits,
new outlooks
In 1969, local businessman Morrie Sayre noticed children playing
in the streets of Cleveland without shoes on their feet and decided
to do something about it. He founded Shoes for Kids and started
to distribute gently used shoes from the trunk of his car.
From this humble beginning, the
organization has grown to become
Shoes and Clothes for Kids (SC4K), the
only non-profit organization in Greater
Cleveland providing new shoes and
clothes at no charge throughout the year
to thousands of children in need. Through
a network of 35 Distribution Partners,
SC4K positively impacts the lives of area
children by giving them the confidence
and self-esteem that comes from having
something new to wear.
SC4K distributes brand new basic clothing
items and shoe gift cards that allow
families to choose new shoes or boots
right off the rack at conveniently located
Payless stores. SC4K purchases a majority
of its product through a network of
wholesalers that sell children’s clothing
at deep discounts. Through this program,
SC4K is able to purchase between $20.00–
$25.00 worth of brand new clothing for
every $1.00 spent.
In addition to meeting the basic needs
of thousands of children each year, SC4K
serves as a change agent for families living
in poverty. The offering of shoe gift cards
and free clothing brings families into our
Distribution Partners’ agencies. Once at
the agency, the families have access to
additional programs and services including
food pantries, GED education programs,
resale shops, daycare, job training
programs and more.
For 42 years, SC4K has
provided a one-of-a-kind
service to families and
children in need throughout
Greater Cleveland.
OUR MISSION
CORE VALUES
Shoes and Clothes for Kids provides a unique service for
income-eligible families in Greater Cleveland by distributing
new shoes, clothing, and items for infants and youth.
Shoes and Clothes for Kids carries out its mission with
compassion, care and respect through a network of partner
agencies and offers the community a way to help families
in need.
lasting legacies
In 2011 SC4K distributed close to 2 million dollars
worth of new items to 25,000 children in need. As
a non-profit organization that charges no fees to
its recipients or Distribution Partners, receives no
government support, and is not a United Way agency,
SC4K relies on the support of a wide variety of donors.
This summer, SC4K received two very generous and
unexpected gifts, which will help us make a lasting
impact in the lives of area children.
SC4K founder Morrie Sayre helping a young boy lace
his new sneakers.
Alice Sayre
Alice Sayre, widow of Shoes and Clothes for Kids founder,
Morrie Sayre, provided a generous gift of stock to mark
the one year anniversary of Morrie’s passing at the age
of 95 in July 2010. The sale of this stock resulted in a
$25,875.66 gift to SC4K to continue Morrie’s work. Sayre
began Shoes for Kids in 1969 upon learning that many
children in the Greater Cleveland area lacked adequate
footwear. He initially collected used shoes and distributed
them directly to the children in need and then later, raised
money to purchase new shoes. In 1998, new clothing
items were added to the distribution and Shoes for Kids
officially became Shoes and Clothes for Kids.
Rosemary E. Tatalick
In July, SC4K received a $52,750 bequest from the
Estate of Rosemary Tatalick. Ms. Tatalick of Rocky
River had not previously been a donor of Shoes
and Clothes for Kids. However, it was clear from
the charities she selected for her estate, that she
was passionate about children’s causes. We are
humbled to have been among the organizations she
chose to carry on her legacy.

addressing the community's needs
It is no secret that 2011 was a challenging year. The economy
was still sluggish, foreclosure rates and unemployment rates were
sky high and 44% of Greater Cleveland’s children were living in
poverty. Shoes and Clothes for Kids serves one of the most basic
needs of children and as more families continued to face these
tough realities, the request for our services significantly increased.
It is anticipated that this demand will continue to outpace our
supply in 2012. Therefore, SC4K took big steps in 2011 to
ensure that we continue to meet the ever-increasing needs of our
community in the most economically sound and efficient manner
possible while operating with compassion, care and respect.

Expanding Our Footprint
In 2011, SC4K expanded its Distribution
Partner network to increase our reach
and serve more children and families
in need. We officially welcomed four
new Distribution Partners: Catholic
Charities – Riverside, Euclid/Hillcrest Area
Family to Family Collaborative, Famicos
Foundation – Ward 10 Office and Word
of Righteousness Family Life Center.
These new partners began distributing
new clothing items and Payless shoe gift
cards to their neighborhoods in October.
A fifth partner, Catholic Charities – Saint
Ignatius, was also selected by the Products
and Services Committee. This site began
meeting the rising demands of the near
Westside in early 2012.
New Community Partners
SC4K sought additional community
partners to collaborate with during our
two peak times of need, back to school
and the holiday season, to further reach
beyond our current footprint. Our annual
Stuff the Bus school supply collection drive
sponsored by Dominion brought us to the
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and introduced
us to a whole new group of supporters.
Likewise our annual Gear for Grades
partnership with Charter One Bank linked
us to the YMCA of Greater Cleveland’s
summer camp program. Another partner
was the Adoption Network of Cleveland. In
December, SC4K applied for and received
a donation of 100 $20.00 Payless gift
cards as part of the 2011 Payless Gives
Shoes 4 Kids Program. SC4K gave the gift
cards to children in permanent custody
of the Cuyahoga County Department of
Children and Family Services, with the
help the Adoption Network of Cleveland.

PRogram news &
community partners
With a staff of three full-time employees and one part-time
employee, SC4K relies heavily on the generosity of our community
partners and volunteers to raise funds and awareness of our
mission driven work.
Ohio Lawyers Give Back
New Capabilities Brochure
SC4K was presented with a $50,000
check at the Heart & Sole Luncheon from
Dworken & Bernstein Co., L.P.A. as part
of its “Ohio Lawyers Give Back” program
which was founded to promote the use
of cy pres in class action settlements.
When a class action law suit is settled,
the plaintiff and defendant agree to a
fund amount to pay all class members.
Since many class members have moved,
passed-away, or can't be found, millions
of settlement dollars go unclaimed. That
settlement money is intended to benefit
the class, rather than revert to the wrongdoing defendant, so the ancient doctrine
of cy pres is now being used to distribute
the unclaimed money to charities and
non-profits. Dworken & Bernstein has
distributed over $20 million to charities
from unclaimed class action settlements
and SC4K is truly grateful to have been
included among its recipients.
Our good friends at Melamed Riley
Advertising donated their time and
talent to give the SC4K capabilities
brochure a fresh new look which features
photos of actual SC4K recipients and
contains information about how the
community can help support our mission.
The brochure was printed pro bono by
Consolidated Graphics.
These types of donations
help keep our costs low so
that 92 cents of each dollar
we raise directly benefits the
children we serve!
SC4K Families Enjoyed Thanksgiving
Dinner at the Terrace Club
For the second year, individuals and
families from SC4K’s Distribution Partner
network were invited to participate in
the “Indians Week of Caring” where
they received a Thanksgiving feast
compliments of the Cleveland Indians and
Delaware North Companies. Guests were
invited to the Terrace Club to receive a
warm, hearty meal with the opportunity
to spend Thanksgiving with their loved
ones in a safe environment. The meal
was served by members of the Cleveland
Indians and Delaware North Companies
front office executives.
We Moved!
Our strategic plan mandated that SC4K
move its staff offices to co-locate with
another area non-profit to share services
and create synergies. In June, SC4K moved
to 3311 Perkins, Suite 205 to share a floor
with the Greater Cleveland Neighborhood
Centers Association. More than onethird of SC4K’s Distribution Partners
are GCNA’s members and we also share
several board members, volunteers and
donors. In addition to providing the staff
with a clean eco-friendly space, the move
resulted in several operational cost-savings
for both organizations. SC4K’s warehouse
still remains at the Cleveland Metropolitan
School District’s Woodland Data Center.
Plain Dealer Holiday Spirit
SC4K was one of 20 agencies selected as a
recipient of The Plain Dealer Charities 2011
Holiday Spirit Campaign. SC4K received
a grant of $12,000 along with coverage
in The Plain Dealer. During the campaign,
The Plain Dealer featured articles on the
agencies and sought contributions from
readers to fund the grants it distributed.
The campaign’s kick-off article by
Margaret Bernstein ran on the front page
of the paper on Thanksgiving Day and
featured a SC4K recipient. SC4K and
another recipient family’s story were
also featured in an article on December
21. SC4K was honored to receive the
donation and media coverage.
Hyland Employees Donate 1,200+
Pairs of New Shoes
Hyland Software employees collected
more than 1,200 pairs of new shoes and
boots for SC4K at their holiday party. For
the sixth year, Hyland asked its employees
to bring a new pair of children’s shoes
as an “entrance fee” to be donated to
local children in need through SC4K.
The program is so popular that several
employees often bring not only one, but
sometimes two or three pairs of new shoes.

2011 special events
Thanks to the hard work and generosity of SC4K's volunteers
and supporters, our special events exceeded our expectations in
2011, making a sizeable difference in the lives of area children and
families in need.
Fool’s Frolic Vegas Style:
4th Annual Event at Moxie
For the fourth year, Moxie, the Restaurant
created a truly unique and memorable
experience for the more than 300 partygoers at the annual Fool’s Frolic held
on April 14, 2011 in Beachwood, Ohio.
Guests were treated a one of a kind event
with all the glitz, glamour and decadence
of Las Vegas. The event included fine fare,
libations and live entertainment with food
stops along the Vegas Strip at the Bellagio
Resort and Casino, the Mandarin Oriental,
the Four Seasons, and Caesars Palace.
Entertainment included Walt Sanders
signing ala Elvis, magician Matt Neidmeyer
and DJ Spencer Reynolds of Jerry Bruno
Productions. Our 175 VIPs started their
evening an hour early and revisted the
golden age of Vegas in a glamorous lounge
fit for the likes of Frank, Dean and Sammy.
One lucky winner, Patricia Nici, won the
grand prize in our fabulous raffle which
included a trip to South Beach Miami for
an exclusive dining experience at Red,
the Steakhouse. The trip also included
airfare for two and a two night stay at
the luxurious Eden Roc, a Renaissance
Hotel and Spa. Our second and third prize
winners took home a $1,000 shopping
spree at Saks Fifth Avenue and a private
helicopter ride respectively.
In four short years, Fool's
Frolic has quickly become a
signature event for SC4K
and this year’s event raised
$57,000 in net proceeds.
Special thanks to SC4K Board Members

and this year’s Golden Shoe Honoree,
Samuel H. Miller, Co-Chair Emeritus and
Treasurer of Forest City Enterprises.
Samuel H. Miller, is not only a successful
businessman but also one of Greater
Cleveland’s most compassionate community
philanthropists. Since SC4K’s inception in
1969, Mr. Miller and Forest City Enterprises
have been among its leading champions
and largest donors. SC4K Advisory Board
member, Albert Ratner and SC4K Chair
Emeritus, Allan C. Krulak, both of Forest
City Enterprises, presented Mr. Miller with
the Golden Shoe Award.
Over 550 corporate and community
leaders attended the luncheon. This year’s

it's back to school time!
Back to school season is the busiest and most important time of the year for our
organization. At Shoes and Clothes for Kids, we recognize the importance of a child starting
the school year off on the right foot. That’s why each year we team up with a number of
community partners to help ensure that Greater Cleveland children in need have the tools
and confidence they’ll need to succeed.
6th Annual Stuff the Bus for Cleveland’s Kids
Sponsored by Dominion, Stuff the Bus raises awareness about the need for shoes, clothing and school supplies for children
going back to school and to provide the community a way to help. This year, SC4K also partnered with the Cleveland
Metroparks Zoo and the Cleveland Zoological Society to hold Stuff the Bus in conjunction with the Zoo’s corporate
appreciation night held on July 6. The partnership was a huge success! More than 9,000 people attended the event and the
bus was located on the Zoo’s ticket plaza giving SC4K much visibility. Several companies either ran collection drives in their
offices or asked their employees to bring their items directly to the bus and many event goers made cash donations.
4th Annual Cleveland Browns Back to School Campaign
The Cleveland Browns once again provided a $15,000 sponsorship to SC4K which was used to purchase
double the amount of gift cards for our back to school distribution. These cards helped children in need
purchase new athletic shoes. As part of the Cleveland Browns Back to School Campaign, Melamed Riley
Advertising partnered with SC4K for the 6th year to create a pro bono community awareness campaign
which included print, radio, television, and outdoor thanks to the generous donated placements by
The Plain Dealer, ClearChannel Outdoor, and ClearChannel Radio. In addition, the Cleveland Browns
invited representatives from SC4K to participate in the player gauntlet and promoted SC4K on the
scoreboard at the Browns pre-season opener on August 13.
Gear for Grades
Joining SC4K to help children prepare for back to school
again this year was Charter One Bank. For the second year Charter One
selected SC4K as its local partner for its Gear for Grades program: an
initiative designed to provide new backpacks filled with school supplies to
2,000 children in Cuyahoga County. Items were collected in Charter One
branches and then their employees spent a day at the SC4K warehouse
filling the new backpacks with school supplies. In addition to distributing
1,500 backpacks as part of the August back to school distribution, SC4K
and Charter One spent a whole day delivering 500 backpacks to YMCA
summer youth camps in Parma, Euclid, Lakewood and Downtown. Gear
for Grades included an $18,000 grant to SC4K.
