Community Involvement

Share Our Shoes, also known as “SOS”, is a shoe charity dedicated to helping those in need. As a shoe charity we collect new or gently worn shoes and give them to someone in desperate need. Each pair of shoes gives someone in need a smile and a chance to walk comfortably and safely during their times of hardship. This is a great way to recycle shoes and help someone less fortunate. Without proper footwear they run the risk of infection and other health-related issues. Sometimes—in rare situations—cuts leading to serious infections can become fatal. This is the most compelling reason why footwear is so important.  "There are over 400 million kids without shoes in today's world” says Jennifer, Director of Share Our Shoes, "and at the same time, there are 1½ billion unused shoes sitting in American closets."

We are fortunate to live in a healthy and active town that offers not only one, but two quality running programs for kids.  Each program is offered in the Fall and Spring.  The two programs are separate, but work closely to offer excitement and fitness for our local youth.

The Swim for Smiles Foundation, based in Chapel Hill, NC, was co-founded by Gary Kayye and Laura Gondek. Our mission is simple: Kids Helping Kids. We do this through special multi-sport events such as triathlons and Swim-A-Thons where all our money raised goes to the NC Children’s Hospital. But, the Swim for Smiles Foundation is not just one or two people – it’s a community of people involved in making our events successful and creative each and every year.  www.swimforsmiles.org
