Kicks for Kids v3: Charity Shoe Drive 2009
presented by the Sneaker Suite x Shoe City x Scion x Nike x Jordan Brand
Appreciation Note:
Over the past few years, we have seen our efforts to make an impact in the community & in the lives of others, flourish, especially as it pertains to our youth. The Kicks for Kids Charity shoe drive initiative was no different. Thanks to YOU, we were able to collect over 400 pairs of shoes ( both new & used)for the greater good of those less fortunate, during the most critical season. We have learned that, even in our current financial environment, there are those who do not have access to the basic necessities in life: a job, access to a home, access to food and clothing. This being said, we are committed to produce even more community efforts, in high volumes. This is only the beginning of our goal to be productive and proactive in our immediate communities and communities abroad. We greatly appreciate your continued support. Thank you.
