After retiring and relocating from Northeast Ohio to Central Florida, Renee spent her free time chasing her grandsons and supporting local charitable organizations. While volunteering with the Seminole County Public School System, she developed a strong interest in the plight of economically disadvantaged families, and wanted to give athletic shoes to teen student athletes who wear extended size shoes.
Being a mother of athletes, Renee knew how playing sports could help students become more physically active and develop important life skills. Realizing the limited availability and additional expense of extra-large athletic shoes, and how challenging that could be for some families, she started a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that could be effectively managed while fulfilling a passion for helping others. We have been an all-volunteer organization from 2016 to 2025.
Now it's time to say goodbye and thank you for your support. - Renee
