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 with a shoe size of 12 and larger.
Being a mother of athletes, Renee knew how playing sports could help students become more physically active and develop important life skills. Realizing the availability and additional expense of extra-large athletic shoes, and how challenging that could be for some parents, she started a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that could be effectively managed while fulfilling a passion for helping others.
Renee graduated from Notre Dame College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration. While working as an Analyst and IT Senior Business Consultant with KeyCorp, she earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Baldwin Wallace College, now Baldwin Wallace University. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, Renee works for free, and there are no staff salaries.
