I was always taught about the importance of giving back and helping those less fortunate. I think it's also incredibly rewarding.

I don't think anyone enjoys raising money, but for some reason I seem to have a knack.

I love to give money away. I don't know if it makes my children and grandchildren all that happy.

I enjoy giving money away. The more you give, the more you get.

When I ask people to give, I can't be on television if they don't; I can't help people, if I don't - I mean, it takes money.

I'm not averse to helping Wall Street when it helps Main Street.

Giving feels good, but it's also good for the bottom line. Charity is a viable growth strategy for a lot of companies. Our customers get excited to be a part of what we're doing. If you ask anyone wearing Toms how they first heard about us, most won't mention an advertisement; they'll say a friend told them our story.

I like to give people more than their money's worth.

Charity work is very important to me and gives me an opportunity to give back to my community. I've always been a big supporter of many different charities, have donated millions of dollars to them, and it just feels great to do and be able to help others, especially children.

I would love people to understand that not everyone can give away $100, but everyone can take the time to help someone get across a street.
