“Most people don’t think about shoes as being that important," Nikki Berti said, "because everybody has a closet full. But so many of the kids we serve have never had a new pair of shoes.”
“It’s the best service project we do all year. Just seeing them smile…they just light up. They just have a different energy about them. They come from a hard place, but they’re just so grateful to get shoes and a new backpack.” – Whitney Ware, USU cheerleader
“Every single kid just smiled because they’re so excited to get a new pair of shoes.” – Mason Ringle
Nearly all of the schools participating in the Mountain West tournament had a band, mascot and cheer squad present. Each one interacted with the kids, giving them a good time and people to look up to.
