pediped™ was founded to provide children with shoes designed to meet the needs of their developing feet. It is our desire to care for the specific needs of children extending beyond shoes. We have grown tremendously thanks to you, our loyal customers and would like to share this success with others. This is why we are partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation so we can be a part of kids’ lives – beyond their feet.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is the nation’s largest wish-granting organization. It grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Every wish is a memorable experience for the wish kid, along with the family and those who participate in the wish. As of September 1, 2007, the average cost of a wish nationwide was $7,000.
