Kicks for 608 Kids

This project will help students within the Beloit and Janesville School Districts with a new set of sneakers. They are collecting 1,100 new pairs of shoes for school children. They are hosted a “Blingo” night to raise awareness and funds to help support students who don’t have the footwear they need.
