Donate Used Soccer Cleats until February 14th
|
We Need Your Cleats! Soccer is beloved by people around the world. Unfortunately, many kids around the world cannot afford the soccer gear such as cleats. Kleats for Kids is a club at Bellevue High School that collects used cleats and donates them to children in Peru.
Last year, they collected about 100 cleats!
Cherry Crest will have a collection box in the front lobby through February 14.
Please consider donating your used cleats and soccer gear to this charity. Rather than throwing it into a trash can, throw it into our bin! Thank you!
