First off, CONGRATULATIONS to whatever organizations raised $1000! As a brief reminder: we took on this challenge and launched a fundraiser with a mission to provide 10 underserved youth with high-quality socks and sneakers.
Something even GREATER happened. S.P.E.A.K. OUT LOUD was able to partner with a local sneaker company and gained sponsorship through NIKE!!!!!!!!
Instead of 10 students.. we were able to DOUBLE the number and recently provided socks, sneakers, backpacks, and accessories for 20 underserved youth! To TOP things off.. we have established an ongoing relationship with both companies, and currently preparing for our second round to impact more youth in need! This has been the absolute BEST!!!
What started as a fundraising challenge, led to all of this and MORE. This was definitely a vision of mine, exceeded! My heart is SO Grateful and looking forward to the evolution of SOLE -4- SOL!
