(PRWEB) November 11, 2008 This holiday season, Art & Creativity for Healing, Inc., a non-profit organization that facilitates fine art classes and workshops for children, teens and adults suffering from abuse, illness and grief, in partnership with Four Star Distribution owner of San Clemente-based C1RCA Footwear and Apparel, will provide each students at San Onofre Elementary School at Camp Pendleton with one pair of C1RCA skate shoes. "Four Star Distribution has been a long-time supporter of our organization, and we were so touched when Markus and Sandy Bohi came to us and wanted to donate enough pairs of C1RCA skate shoes, so each student at San Onofre Elementary, a school that has been hit very hard by overseas deployments of military personnel, could have a more joyous holiday season, despite the absence of one or both parents," said Laurie Zagon, Founder/Director, Art & Creativity for Healing. "Being part of a military family can be very difficult, these kids move around frequently and often have to live without one or both parents for significant amounts of time," said Markus Bohi, CEO, C1RCA Footwear and Apparel.
