UGG® Australia Raises Money and Awareness

In 2005, UGG® Australia decided to partner with St. Jude as the primary charity for each annual Art & Sole celebrity boot auction. Every year select high profile artists, actors, and musicians are asked to hand design a pair of Classic Boots to auction off on eBay. All of the proceeds are then donated to further the research for St. Jude. Last year UGG® Australia raised $40,000 and was named 'Best Charity Event of the Year' by Accessories Magazine. Celebrity participants included: Matt Lauer, Reese Witherspoon, Donald Trump, John Travolta, Faith Hill, Brooke Shields, Sharon Stone and many more.
