The Foundation for New Education Initiatives, Inc. (FNEI) has officially been selected as a finalist for Designer Shoe Warehouse’s (DSW) Shoe Lovers Care “Leave Your Mark” Program. Leave Your Mark is a philanthropic program that allows DSW’s employees nationwide to nominate nonprofit organizations they feel passionate about supporting. DSW then selects eight finalists from the many submissions.

The nonprofit entity that receives the most votes on ShoeLoversCare.com will receive a $75,000 donation from DSW. Voting is currently open to the public and ends on June 16 at 11:59 p.m. You may vote once daily.

FNEI was created in 2008 by the Miami-Dade County School Board to enhance student achievement and community engagement in support of The Parent Academy and other educational initiatives of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Each year, thousands of students are introduced to an array of community cultural and arts institutions through the Cultural Passport Program.  FNEI also supports scholarship and technology programs.
