“I desperately needed to get my son new sneakers. I needed help. Thank you, Laces of Love, for getting my son new shoes. He was overjoyed and even thinks they hold special powers to make him run faster. Maybe they do – anything is possible with love. You helped make this hard time a little less difficult and I will forever be grateful!”
. . . One mother’s story
The Foundation is again proud to sponsor the LACES OF LOVE SHOE DRIVE, beginning February 17th through 21st! 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW . . .
  • Over 60% of kids in Lee and Collier counties are designated “economically needy”
  • Laces of Love has provided over 200,000 kids in need with new shoes since 2005
  • Shoes are distributed through the Lee and Collier county public school counselors, teachers, principals, school nurses and non-profit organizations that serve needy kids
  • The shoes are fitted and given in the privacy of the staff offices

WHAT DO WE NEED? HOW CAN YOU HELP? 
  • Boys and girls’ sneakers, children’s sizes 1-8, including half sizes (no adult, baby, or toddler shoes, please)
  • Remove new shoes from the box but leave the paper in the shoes
  • Drop new shoes in the collection bins at the Fitness Center, Racquet Center, Golf Bag Drop, or your Neighborhood Champion’s house

We will also be hosting a “Shoe Tagging” party at the Racquet Center on February 21st, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Laces of Love Founder Jeanne Nealon will attend, and we will hear firsthand about how we are MAKING A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER!
