“The Dawgs Partners Program is the best and easiest fund-raising program I have ever used,” said Larry Goins, executive director of NADA and athletic director at Desert Oasis High School in Las Vegas. “It works and you don’t have to.

About the Dawgs Partners Program
USA Dawgs, Inc. recently introduced its new Dawgs Partners collegiate and scholastic fund-raising program (www.dawgspartners.com). A high school, college or university that becomes a Dawgs Partner can raise funds for its programs through the online sale of Dawgs shoes, including footwear customized for the school. The Dawgs Partner program allows each institution to reach its students, faculty, staff, families, boosters – in fact, its entire educational community – with the opportunity to purchase Dawgs footwear to help support the school and its programs. A portion of the proceeds from each Dawgs Partner sale is returned to the school to help support the academic and/or athletic programs of its choice.
At a school or university, any designated team, department, event or division may act as the liaison to the Dawgs Partners program.
A Dawgs Partner:
• offers custom-designed shoes to the school’s entire support base
• offers the entire line of Dawgs footwear for sale to support school programs
• never has to stock any product
• never has to handle any funds
• has a custom-designed school-specific Web page for sale of Dawgs footwear
• can generate revenue from the sale of Dawgs footwear throughout the year
• receives a monthly check for all Dawgs shoes sold
While any Dawgs shoe style may be ordered by a Dawgs Partner booster or supporter, the Dawgs Golf Spirit and Dawgs Spirit Casual shoes are the designs that can be customized with a Dawg Tag featuring a school’s logo printed in the school colors, representing a way for wearers to show their school pride while “giving back” in a fun and sporty way. Dawgs Golf Spirit shoes are known as ‘The World’s Lightest Golf Shoes’.
About Dawgs Golf
Dawgs Golf (www.dawgsgolf.com) , a division of USA Dawgs, Inc., was formed in 2009 to extend its premium footwear lines into the golf arena, to meet the needs of players for lightweight shoes that offer all the comfort, style and affordability for which Dawgs are known.

In addition to its Golf Spirit, Ultralite Golf and Crossover shoes, Dawgs Golf offers its entire line of high-comfort ultra-soft men’s and women’s Firestone-licensed work shoes for grounds- and greenskeepers. For kitchen, restaurant and clubhouse workers, Dawgs Golf offers its line of extreme-comfort slip-resistant Tracker series of work shoes, including the Tracker Pro and the Ultralite Tracker.
Dawgs Golf Spirit Shoes combine style and function with EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate, or closed cell resin), creating “The World’s Lightest Golf Shoe”, weighing in at 7 ounces for men’s size 9 Spirits and 5 ounces for women’s size 7 Spirits. Yet the Dawgs Golf Spirit does not sacrifice weight for comfort. Rather, the built-in properties of high-quality EVA act as a shock absorber for the feet. The Dawgs Golf Spirit has nine strategically-placed molded rubber spikes embedded in a rubber/EVA outsole for surefooted play, confidence and performance. The handsome Dawgw Golf Spirit shoe is available in various color combinations for men, women, girls and boys. Additional features of the Dawgs Golf Spirit include an adjustable Velcro strap and ventilation holes for cool comfort. The lightweight Dawgs Golf Spirit is a convenient golf shoe for travel.

Dawgs Ultralite Golf Shoes are available in a variety of colors and sizes for both men and women.
In addition to the Dawgs Golf Spirit Shoes and the Dawgs Ultralite Golf Shoes, the comprehensive lines offered by Dawgs include casual footwear for golfers to wear before and after their rounds. Men’s and women’s Spirits (without spikes), men’s and women’s Flip Flops, men’s and women’s slides, women’s “Z” sandals and women’s 3-straps comprise the variety of selections. All feature great comfort and style.
The original Dawgs company, Double Diamond Distribution, Ltd., was formed in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2005 by Steve Mann and, in 2006, USA Dawgs, Inc. was formed. The concept was then and remains today to provide comfortable, lightweight, affordable performance-based shoes to suit a wide variety of needs. Dawgs Golf shoes carry this tradition to the golf course.
As always, Dawgs are a ‘foot’s best friend’ and Dawgs Golf shoes are a ‘golfer’s best friend.’
