Got Shoes? For the majority of us this is a quick “Yes”. In fact, more than likely we have several pairs - some we don’t even like or wear, just taking up space in our closet.
This weekend Pickle With Purpose had the opportunity to work with BMore Learning, on their first BMore Bash Pickleball Tournament. It was an amazing event. PWP participated as a sponsor, we volunteered, played in the tournament, and we also had the opportunity to host a sneaker drive in partnership with gotsneakers.com, a sneaker recycling organization. We collected donations of slightly used, to well used, athletic shoes.
We had an amazing turnout and collected 65 pairs of shoes. Huge thanks to all that donated. The amazing thing is, not only will these shoes be recycled or reused depending on their condition, but PWP will also receive some money for each pair of shoes given. We are grateful for every cent we can get to provide resources for PWP to continue to help others be their best.
We will continue to collect shoes throughout the year and years to come. What a great opportunity to help fill a void! If you would like to help collect shoes on our behalf, please contact us and let us know. We will help get you off on the right foot. If you or your organization would like to collect shoes for your own shoe drive, please visit gotsneakers.com to get started.
Let’s make a difference together!
