During the month of September, Run-N-Tri of Mobile will be collecting used tennis shoes of all types, except cleats.
America's Distinguished Young Women will earn money for each pound of shoes donated.
The shoes should be bound together with a rubber band, placed in a bag and dropped off at Run-N-Tri, 6345 Piccadilly Square Dr. Suite K, Mobile, AL 36608.
Can't make it to the store? Drop your bag of shoes off here at the National Office, 751 Government St., Carpe Diem at 4072 Old Shell Rd., and Barre 3 in Piccadilly Square at 6345 Airport Blvd.
