Toe-Rific Chocolates & Candy has launched a new division of the company, Buddy Feet Friends (BFF), featuring its new chocolate product Buddy Feet to raise funds for awareness of Down's Syndrome.
According to the company, the new product comes with a special sandal gap toe, a characteristic of Down Syndrome.
Toe-Rific Chocolates & Candy founder Dr. Mark Wolpa said: "We have packaged the Buddy Feet in a baton type container and hope that all will "pass their good deeds forward" with the purchase of Buddy Feet, much like a baton is passed forward in a race.
"With every Buddy Feet baton we sell, we donate $4.00 to the National Down Syndrome Society."
The company is also planning for future endeavors to "Step Up" and "Stomp Out" other social issues through offering unique foot shaped candies.
Dr. Mark Wolpa added: "Our hope is that Buddy Feet will not only raise awareness for our buddies with Down Syndrome, but will help raise funds that will help the many dedicated organizations who educate the public as to how those with DS and other challenges are wonderful people and want to contribute to society just like everyone else."
