Sneaker Week Atlanta – Super Bowl Edition
City-Wide Sneaker Drive & Scavenger Hunt
“Capturing the Soles of Atlanta”
View the downloadable flyer here.
In collaboration with the City of Atlanta and downtown corporations, Atlanta’s employees and fans were encouraged to tie on their sneakers and get around downtown.
Georgia Power, in a huge last-push effort, edged out American Cancer Society for bragging rights and the King of Pops Party!
Congratulations to all who participated and those that won! Official WINNERS for First, Second and Third Place are:
- Georgia Power: 557 pairs of sneakers
- American Cancer Society: 414 pairs of sneakers
- Third place: Zeller Realty
With your help, over 1300 pairs of sneakers to date were collected, and donations are still trickling in. The donated sneakers will be used to supply those who have a dire need of sneakers to protect their feet from disease and the long-term effects of wearing improper footwear.
In addition, sneakers that cannot be reworn will be repurposed as the subflooring of basketball courts, running and walking tracks and playgrounds. And we keep them out of our landfills!
Thank you to all that participated in this program and became SHOEGOODERS!
