About the event
Drop off your gently used shoes at our office inside the Bodysmith Studio any time during the month of April. We will earn funds based on the total weight of the shoes collected. Those dollars will help support the Parkinson's community. Collected sneakers and running shoes go on to developing nations where they are repurposed and resold by micro-entrepreneurs (small business owners). The athletic shoes help create commerce, jobs and a path out of poverty. Learn more about the sneakers for good program at sneakers4funds.com.
It's a WIN-WIN-WIN for everyone!
