Cause Scholarship in the dog and cat categories, USC student Maki
Shigetani and Teeny Nadeau of Cal State Fullerton created their
cruising canine and regal cat mosaics in honor of their beloved
rescue animals. (Graphic: Business Wire)
Both winners’ patterns were inspired by personal experiences
with their adopted animals; Nadeau’s cat mosaic is in honor of her
regal rescue cat Firefly, who recently passed away from cancer.
Shigetani designed her “Bark ‘n’ Drive” dog mosaic in tribute to
her family’s dogs, whose unconditional love has helped support her
mental health and brought her family joy during the pandemic.
“The BOBS movement has been embraced by millions looking for new
ways to improve animal welfare. Thanks to their purchases and
enthusiasm, we’ve already helped save and care for approximately
two million animals,” said Kathy Kartalis, senior vice president of
global product for Skechers. “Many college students use BOBS as
their go-to campus styles, and we saw this as a great opportunity
for them to participate on a deeper level—to share their talents
and help save shelter pets through their own graphic prints and
stories. To see so many emotional submissions from across the
country was inspiring. Narrowing the decision down to the finalists
was a real challenge, but we are thrilled with our two winning
entries, who happen to be attending colleges in Southern
California. We look forward to seeing people across the United
States wearing their patterns later this year.”
In addition to having their prints featured in the 2024 BOBS
collection, Nadeau and Shigetani will each receive a $10,000
college scholarship from the Skechers Foundation and one-on-one
corporate mentorship sessions with key Skechers design
personnel—along with a donation to a nearby animal welfare
organization in their pets’ honor.
Open to enrolled students at United States colleges and
universities, the BOBS from Skechers Paws for a Cause Design
Scholarship program invited applicants nationwide to create a dog-
or cat-themed print for a BOBS from Skechers shoe, write about the
design and share a personal story about a shelter/adopted pet or
what the BOBS from Skechers collection means to them. The finalists
included students from 20 schools nationwide, including colleges in
Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.
BOBS from Skechers product is available online, at Skechers
stores, and at department and specialty locations. For every
specially marked item purchased, a donation is made to support
shelter pets and animal welfare organizations in the United States,
Canada and select international markets. To learn more, follow BOBS
