FOR THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

Rainbow Sandals Founder Has Giving in His ‘Sole’

Rainbow Sandals founder Jay ‘Sparky’ Longley has philanthropy in both his soul and sole, he joked, as the long-time sandal manufacturer presented a $50,000 donation to the American Red Cross of Orange County.

“You guys are the best; a huge organization doing wonderful things all over the world,” Longley declared, as he acknowledged the 152 Red Cross Societies around the globe, and the work the Red Cross is currently undertaking in Texas following winter storm Uri.

“When I started, I never had the money or the time to help anybody else, but now I’m in a position to, and I really like giving back,” Longley continued. “I try to help everyone a little bit. I figure everybody needs a little help and it’s fun to give. I just do a little bit – and hope that people follow my lead.”
