September 2^nd 2010, Waltham, MA - Two Ten Footwear Foundation announced today that Lance Clark of Clarks will receive the T. Kenyon Holly Award for his excellent humanitarian achievements. Lance founded "Soul of Africa" aimed at creating self-sustainable employment by teaching previously unemployed women in South Africa to hand-stitch products, therefore earning them a living as well as teaching them valuable skills. Money raised from the program goes to the care and upkeep of orphans and vulnerable children in Africa - most of whom are directly or indirectly affected by HIV/AIDS pandemic.

On behalf of the Awards Committee, Carol Baiocchi expressed, "tremendous excitement to be honoring two key industry leaders! Their personal volunteer efforts have helped transform - in far-reaching, rippling effect, the lives of so many!!"
