Wow! We are speechless!!! With your continued support, the Julie Sutton’s Shoes endowment surpassed this year’s goal and is over $300,000 in just three years.

We are incredibly blessed for everyone’s love and support over the last two years.

Our word for this year is REACH. Our goal is to reach new people with Julie’s story, reach beyond our goals, and reach $300,000 for our 3rd year of Julie Sutton’s Shoes.

Julie wanted us to share her story and her mission, and that is what we will continue to do. Please share this video so we can reach farther and impact more people than we ever imagined possible. Thank you all so much!

Today marks 2 years since we lost Julie. We promised we would keep her memory alive and continue her legacy of caring for the students in our area. In just 2 years we’ve raised just over $230,000 for the endowment and put over 400 pairs of shoes on kids feet. We are so grateful for Central Kentucky Community Foundation and everyone who supports us. We miss her so much and know she’d be so proud of Julie Sutton’s Shoes.
