Vantagepoint A.I. Celebrates 10 Years of Community Giving Through the Two Good Soles Drive

Vantagepoint A.I. Two Good Soles, a pioneer in artificial-intelligence-driven financial forecasting, is once again making headlines, this time not for market insights but for its tenth consecutive year of community support. The company’s ongoing participation in the Two Good Sole Shoes and Socks Drive continues to make a profound difference for students across Pasco County, Florida, ensuring they step into classrooms with comfort, dignity, and confidence through their Vantagepoint AI Two Good Soles efforts.

A Decade of Generosity: A Family and a Company United in Purpose

This year marks a meaningful milestone in the Mendelsohn family’s journey of generosity. Lane and Abby Mendelsohn, along with the team at Vantagepoint A.I. Two Good Soles, donated 500 pairs of shoes and 100 pairs of socks, joining hands with local government and community leaders to make a tangible impact.

Moreover, the drive’s emotional highlight came from Abby Mendelsohn, who began helping with the initiative at just seven years old. Now 12, she moved attendees with a heartfelt speech emphasizing how something as simple as a new pair of shoes can give students the courage and confidence to learn without fear or embarrassment. Her words encapsulated the spirit of compassion and leadership that defines the Vantagepoint AI Two Good Soles initiative.

Leadership, Recognition, and Family Commitment

Over the past five years, Abby Mendelsohn has inspired peers and adults alike through her dedication to the cause. Because of her leadership and consistency, county officials have recognized her with multiple commendations.

Her father, Lane Mendelsohn, President of Vantagepoint A.I., credits Abby’s compassion for keeping the family’s efforts strong. “Watching Abby grow from a seven-year-old with a big heart into a confident 12-year-old community leader has been one of my proudest moments as a father,” he said.

As a result, the Mendelsohn family’s name has become synonymous with impactful local philanthropy, serving as an example of how family values, empathy, and business leadership can combine to strengthen entire communities, as seen in their involvement with Vantagepoint AI and Two Good Soles.

The Mission: More Than Just Shoes

Established in 2016 by Pasco County Government and Constitutional offices, the Two Good Soles initiative aims to provide local students with shoes and socks, items that many children too often go without. In addition to promoting comfort and health, the effort restores dignity and confidence for children in need.

Through close collaboration with school social workers, who personally deliver the items, the drive ensures every donation reaches those most in need. Furthermore, the Mendelsohns have gone beyond simply donating shoes; they’ve helped collect thousands of pairs and contributed over $5,000 for additional supplies in the past year alone. Their unwavering commitment through Vantagepoint AI Two Good Soles has earned formal recognition from local leaders who praise their long-term involvement and consistency.

Expanding the Impact: Philanthropy Beyond Pasco County

While Two Good Soles remains a cornerstone of the company’s community engagement, Vantagepoint A.I.’s impact extends far beyond Pasco County. Founded in 1979 by Louis Mendelsohn, the company has built a reputation not only for its innovative approach to financial forecasting but also for its belief that business success and social responsibility should go hand in hand.

In addition to its annual shoe drive contributions, Vantagepoint AI Two Good Soles supports scholarships for young entrepreneurs, partners with Shriners Hospitals for Children and The Children’s Cancer Center, and provides quarterly charitable donations to uplift both local and international communities.

Today, with 45 years of innovation and a presence in over 160 countries, Vantagepoint A.I. continues to prove that companies can lead global industries while still giving back to their local roots.

How You Can Join the Movement

Community members and supporters are encouraged to contribute to future drives by donating new shoes and socks or by volunteering at local events. Additionally, residents can help spread awareness about this life-changing initiative—because even a small act of kindness can create ripples of hope.

The annual celebration, held this year on October 22, showcased not just the success of the tenth anniversary but also the growing energy and unity within Pasco County. The event served as a reminder that when individuals, families, and businesses come together, real transformation happens.

Ten Years, Thousands of Smiles

As the Two Good Soles initiative celebrates its tenth year, it stands as a model of sustained community action and heartfelt leadership. Through the dedication of the Mendelsohn family and the continued involvement of Vantagepoint A.I., thousands of local students have received not only new shoes but also renewed confidence and a sense of belonging.
