Slippers4Stories pairs a plush Mountain Lion slipper with the storybook Mountain Lions: Masters of the Mountain — hand-delivered to elementary students in our community by the Red Mountain High School student marketing team.
Every gift is tax-deductible through LEEF · 100% reaches the mission
Every sponsored pair ships to the agency, gets hand-matched by student volunteers to an elementary reader in a partner classroom, and is delivered in person.
Four steps, October through January. Your gift goes to the foundation; the students do the rest.
Sponsor through the foundation, or ship an Amazon-direct partner pair straight to the agency.
Funds are held by LEEF and released to the campaign. Donated pairs ship to Red Mountain High School.
Student agency members log every pair and match sizes to a waiting elementary student in a partner classroom.
The student team delivers pairs in person alongside the storybook. Warm feet. A story. A believer showing up.
Every gift is made to the Lewis Educational Enrichment Foundation and is tax-deductible.
One slipper, one book, one reader — hand-matched and delivered by the student team, with an impact report at the end of the season.
Sponsor a pairSupport Slippers4Stories all year as part of LEEF's literacy membership — the steady base that lets the season be planned rather than scrambled.

Choose a pair100% of every gift reaches the mission. LEEF's giving platform charges nonprofits nothing, so no processing fee comes out of what you give. And because high school students run the campaign, your gift serves the children receiving the pairs and trains the young leaders delivering them.
When signature pairs run low, donors can send an Amazon-direct partner pair straight to the agency. Every pair still gets hand-matched and delivered by the student team.
Shipping address for in-kind gifts is provided when you get in touch — it keeps the classroom deliveries organized. Prices shown are what these listed for when the campaign was built and will vary.
Slippers4Stories isn't a school assignment. It's a belief about what warmth, literacy, and belonging look like when a community decides a child is worth showing up for.
The campaign is designed, marketed, and delivered by high school marketing students at Red Mountain High School, operating as the RM Marketing & Communications Agency — the student-run agency where they build the brand, run the drive, steward the donors, and hand over the pairs themselves.
The foundation holds the funds and the accountability. The students do the work.
