Laced Up for Change: 1,000 Kids. One Safer Future.
Laced With Love: 10 Years, 1,000 Kids, 1 Mission
Because Every Pair We Give Is One Step Towards A Safer, Brighter Future
This year, Kicks For Kids turns 10—and we’re honoring every step that brought us here.
But this milestone is bittersweet.
In 2024, my 22-year-old nephew was murdered in a senseless drive-by shooting—just blocks from where he grew up. His name, his light, his future—stolen. Sadly, he’s one of too many.
That’s why this year’s Back-to-School In-Store Sneaker Giveaway is more than a celebration—it’s a commemoration. We’re honoring his memory and the lives of countless others impacted by gun violence.
On August 31st, our Nike store event becomes a place of healing and hope.
Each child gets to walk in, choose their own brand-new pair of sneakers, and walk out with pride.
Our Goal: Sponsor 1,000 Children from Newark and Surrounding Cities
In-store experience to select their own name-brand sneakers
Backpacks & essential school supplies
Free food, music, and fun activities
Healing spaces for families impacted by violence
Mentorship booths, youth resources & community support
You make it possible.
$50 = 1 child fully equipped
$100 = 2 kids laced with care
$250+ = Funds food, outreach & support for grieving families
Let’s turn pain into purpose.
Let’s lace up 1,000 kids—for a future worth walking into.
Donate today. Stand with us. Honor every step.
