Help with Our Holiday Sneaker Drive

Every December, NYRR Youth Programs provides hundreds of at-risk youth with sneakers so they can run safely. All wrapping and distribution volunteer spots are filled, but we still need sneakers. E-mail youthprograms@nyrr.org by November 26 if you can donate a new pair of children’s running sneakers, and we’ll reply with details including a specific child’s gender and shoe size.
