STUDENT QUALIFICATIONS

OUR PROCESS

Parents, Coaches, Teachers, and School Administrators complete and submit online applications. The applications are reviewed for completion, and if approved, inventory is checked for shoe size and type. If shoes are in our inventory, we will schedule a pick up date and time. Deliveries can be made to schools in Seminole County. If shoes are not in our inventory, new basketball shoes or football cleats are purchased, or the student's name is placed on a waiting list.

September12, 2023 - Change in Types and Sizes of Athletic Shoes We Provide

Since 2016, we have given away 8 different types of athletic shoes to qualified teens. Basketball shoes and football cleats were requested in 99% of the applications submitted. Therefore, once our existing inventory of other shoe types is depleted, we will only provide Basketball Shoes and Football Cleats. Also, we are changing the minimum shoe size we provide from Size 12 to Size 13.

Thank you for supporting our efforts, and helping teens put their best foot forward!
