Slippers for Stories is the agency's anchor client — a literacy-and-warmth initiative that puts a pair of RM-branded Mountain Lion plush slippers and a copy of Mountain Lions: Masters of the Mountain in the hands of every elementary student in our community.
Marketing students don't learn from a textbook. They build the brand, launch the campaign, secure the funding, run the events, and measure the impact — all while giving warmth and reading to the next generation of Mountain Lions.
Nothing convinces a first-grader that reading is cool like a grown-up in a red blazer standing in his classroom wearing the same character slippers we're about to give her. Slippers for Stories isn't a school assignment. It's a belief about what warmth, literacy, and belonging look like — worn on the feet of the teacher first.
A warm gift. A stronger community.
The RM Mountain Lion slipper — plus a copy of Mountain Lions: Masters of the Mountain — is what a $35 sponsorship actually delivers to an elementary student's feet.
Every sponsored pair pairs a plush RM Mountain Lion slipper with the Mountain Lions: Masters of the Mountain storybook. Students hand-match every pair to a child in a partner elementary classroom — no drop-shipping to strangers, no anonymous pallets. Warm feet, a story to read, and a Mountain Lion who's been rooting for them all along.
When RM pairs run low, donors can send an Amazon-direct partner pair straight to the agency. Every pair still gets matched to a child by hand.
