Kicks 4 the City and The Athlete’s Foot Partner to Make a Bigger Impact in Communities Across the Country for 2016
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kicks 4 the City has a lot to celebrate! Through the generous
donations and hard work of volunteers across the country, Kicks 4 the
City ended its 4th season of giving by providing over
14,000 pairs of shoes to those in need during the 2015 holiday season!
Kicks 4 the City, powered by Legacy Leavers (nonprofit
organization), focuses its efforts around the holiday season in local
communities experiencing poverty and homelessness. The mission is to
bring awareness to these struggles and provide the opportunity for our
communities to come together as one, donating new or lightly used shoes
for those less-fortunate during the colder fall and winter months.
This year, the 5th annual Kicks 4 the City shoe drive
is excited to announce its partnership with The Athlete’s Foot USA, a
leading retailer for athletic footwear and apparel! With 459 stores
located in 24 countries worldwide, The Athlete’s Foot emerges as the
ideal partner. Their national reach coupled with an equally laudable
commitment to the community, will lead us to our goal of 25,000 pairs of
shoes for those in need this 2016 giving season.
“Today’s announcement with Kicks 4 the City comes with great
pleasure,” said Adam Chait, CEO – The Athlete’s Foot USA. “This
partnership will help deliver shoes to thousands of families
experiencing poverty and homelessness. It will also allow The
Athlete’s Foot to strengthen our commitment and ties to the local
communities we serve.”
Sharing in the excitement of this partnership, Kicks 4 the City
and The Athlete’s Foot are planning initiatives throughout the year that
will increase their impact in local communities experiencing poverty and
homelessness. Stay tuned as these plans will be unveiled in the coming
months.
