Fundraise for New Shoe Day
New Shoe Day partners with youth-serving organizations by providing new shoes to empower them to thrive. We believe a new pair of shoes can be the spark for positive change and be a pathway to wellness, community, and movement.
Create Impact with Your Next Event
Training for an endurance event is a major accomplishment that takes dedication and hard work, but fundraising for a cause alongside it gives deeper purpose and meaning to every moment.
At New Shoe Day, we’re on a mission to end shoe insecurity in Indiana, so all of our youth have access to safe footwear that empowers them to thrive. Fundraising for New Shoe Day isn’t just about meeting a monetary goal, it’s about fueling a mission that creates real, tangible impact in the lives of kids across Indiana.
Every dollar you raise helps supply new shoes to kids in need and also raises awareness about this basic need that often goes overlooked. By linking your race or endurance event with this meaningful cause, you invite others to join your journey of generosity and movement.
Join Today!
Whether you want to finish a marathon, take on a triathlon, climb a mountain, compete at a Hyrox event, or have another big idea, New Shoe Day invites you to fundraise for kids. Sign up today to help Hoosier kids move freely, play confidently, explore the outdoors, and show up as themselves. You’ll receive fundraising resources, New Shoe Day swag, and the gratitude of kids across the state!
For as little as $25, you can buy a pair of shoes to help a kindergartener comfortably play at recess, a 3rd grader participate in gym class, a middle schooler join the track team, or a high schooler get the spikes they need to be competitive.
Set a goal that’s personal to you. It could be 26 pairs of shoes for 26.2 miles. If you love soccer, set a goal of providing shoes for the equivalent of 11 players. The average elementary school class in Indiana has 22 kids, so why not fundraise for all of them? Don’t be afraid to set a big goal – 100 shoes for 100 kids? Put it out there and let people step up.
Whether you set a dollar amount or a shoe amount, remember that every donation impacts the life of a real kid in Indiana!
