Lombard Falcons Junior Football League Launches Sneaker Drive Fundraiser

The Lombard Falcons are holding an athletic shoe drive fundraiser throughout the 2023 season to help protect our environment while also raising money for the program. Our organization will earn funds based on the total quantity of gently worn, used, and new sneakers collected. GotSneakers, a social enterprise, will issue funds in compensation for the collected sneakers. Those funds will benefit the Falcons organization directly. Anyone can help by simply donating gently worn, used, and new sneakers.

GotSneakers has developed a unique fundraising program that asks communities to reach into their closets, not their pockets! The sneaker recycling program helps keeps sneakers out of landfills, which has harmful effects on our environment, and helps organizations like ours raise much needed funds. The program is truly a win – win! Learn more about GotSneakers by visiting their website at www.gotsneakers.com.
