Joelle Ragland, chair of the 2009 Champions for Children Gala, and daughters (from left) Sydney, 5 and Alex, 7, delivered colorfully wrapped boxes of children's shoes to selected businesses in early August. Their goal: to solicit corporate sponsorships. "These children's shoes might be a little snug for you," the note inside each box reads, "but they did help us get our foot in your door!"
