Shoe Drive Fundraiser
November 8, 2024 @ 8:00 am - January 7, 2025 @ 5:00 pm
Free
WHAT: The community is invited to clean out their closet for a shoe drive to raise funds for JCMDS Ruby Red Teams. Donations of gently worn, used and new shoes will be accepted. The amount of money raised is determined by the total weight of the shoes collected.
All donated shoes will be redistributed to micro-enterprise partners through Funds2Orgs, a for-profit social enterprise, and used in developing nations for impoverished people to start their own businesses.
WHEN: Now – January 7th 2025
WHERE: 18600 E Military Ave Fremont NE
DETAILS: In the US alone, over 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away per year. The materials used to manufacture a pair of shoes are created from chemical compounds that will create health hazards if left to disintegrate openly or in landfills. By donating your gently worn, used and new shoes to the Ruby Red Dance Team, your shoes are given a second chance to make a difference.
About Ruby Red Dance Team:
Ruby Red Dance Team dances competitively at national dance competitions like Ovation Dance Competition, Rainbow, and Celebration.
