William Lerner "Billy" and Alexson Roy began to distribute shoes to Haiti and other poverty stricken countries.[4] RecognitionsOn July 16, 2014 Bill Lerner, the founder of Billy4Kids, was honored with the Humanitarian Award by Stephen Baldwin at The 3rd Annual Edeyo Gives Hope Ball.[5] References1. ^New York Post.
