Making Strides with Sharing Shoes
In partnership with Nike, Sharing Shoes is launching its Connect, Collect, Compete program! Through Sharing Shoes, Nike-sponsored high schools and universities will be paired with a local non-profit in their area that works with under-served athletes. Upon completion of their seasons, these teams will donate their new and gently-worn basketball shoes to their partner organization, who will in turn give the shoes to the athletes they work with, creating new opportunities for these athletes to play basketball.
Founded by Ty Wilson, the mission of Sharing Shoes is to collect new and gently worn basketball shoes for under-served athletes in the local community. They are committed to providing every young athlete a chance to play basketball with good, reliable shoes using the donations collected.
