What a great day in Bethel! 🐝

We had the opportunity to visit the Bethel Bees and spend time with members of the football team as they helped students with their new shoes.

Big thanks to the Generosity of the Nick and Edna Weller Foundation and a special collaboration with the Purple Monkey Project. Along with receiving a new pair of shoes, every student will also receive a journal a simple tool that can encourage reflection, creativity, and confidence.

As we continue serving students in Miamisburg, it’s always exciting to see members of the community achieving great things. Miamisburg native Jackson McGohan is now competing at the Division I level for Wisconsin, proving that big dreams can come from our own backyard.

Every time we provide a new pair of shoes to a student, we’re reminded that you never know what the future holds. Today’s student could be tomorrow’s athlete, teacher, entrepreneur, leader, or difference maker.

This was made possible by
THE NICK AND EDNA WELLER CHARITIES, INC. And we have passed over 4,000 pairs of shoes given 🙌♥️

A great day at Kiser elementary school here in Dayton Ohio. 92 students got a brand new pair of shoes thanks to the Finish Line JD Sports foundation.

We also had the privilege of having Chris Wright come speak with the students and inspire them to chase their dreams. Chris is a local legend who made it all the way to the NBA, and his message was a powerful reminder to these kids that where you come from does not determine where you can go.

A special day in Fairborn!

This day was made possible by the Brading family through Shoes from Sean, an initiative created to honor and remember their son, Sean Brading.
One lace at a time, the Brading family raises money each year to help kids in Piqua and the surrounding area.
#337 pairs of shoes have been given and counting in Sean’s memory.

Through this beautiful act of kindness, Sean’s legacy continues to spread smiles, confidence, and joy to kids in our community.

We are inspired by what this family continues to do year after year.
Also a big thank you to the National Honor Society for volunteering and helping make the day so meaningful.
