…. your shoes!
Hey everyone!
Stop hoarding those shoes that you don’t really need anymore… You know you’re gonna get some new kicks anyway! It’s time for The 2nd Annual Triathlete Holiday Shoe Drive benefiting underprivileged and at-risk teens in Atlanta.
We hope you have saved all your athletic shoes for us. We had a great collection last year…over 150 pairs…..and we hope to surpass that!
We are asking for gently used, CLEAN, athletic shoes.. We would like them to be in good shape so the teens that receive them will be able to get some use out of them. If they are dirty, no worries, just throw them in the washing machine and hand them over! If you wash them, they look brand-spankin’ new (and have no stank!).
There are 5 drop-off locations:
1. The Sport Factory-Roswell
2. PT-Solutions, Acworth Location.
3. Reality Bikes-Cumming
4. Masters swim practice @ Westminster
5. Stone Family Chiropractic — Kennesaw
We can also arrange to meet some of you if you have a bunch and can’t get to a drop off location.
If you would like to donate:
-make sure shoes are gently worn and clean – throw in the washing machine!
-please put them in a plastic bag so the shoes will not get separated from each other
-drop them off at the above locations.
We will be collecting until December 15th so we can have them delivered before Christmas. Thank you for your help and we look forward to seeing your shoes!!!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Jennifer Lesser.

THANK YOU and please pass along to any other groups who may be able to contribute.

Another humanitarian initiative by AMY. Well done. If I lived closer, I would definately partake.
Currently, once I am done, I drop mine at the local Running Room store. They have a year round program. We just drop the shoes in a big box at the back of the store, and they ensure the shoes go to someone who needs them.
And again, good job Girly!
Well, we’re not exactly saving the world, but thanks for the kind words, Jim!
