The community is invited to clean out their closet for a shoe drive to raise funds for the Wheeler Band Booster Club. Donations of gently worn, used and new shoes will be accepted. Any size, any shoe! While you spring clean please put your shoes aside to help us out! The fundraiser’s success is based on the total weight of the shoes collected so more shoes equals more funds raised! Find our more: https://www.
wheelerbands.org/shoes All donated shoes will be redistributed to micro-enterprise partners through Funds2Orgs, a for profit social enterprise, and used in developing nations for impoverished people to start their own businesses.
WHEN: April 5th, April 26th and May 10th from 9am – noon
WHERE: Wheeler High School, 375 Holt Road, Marietta, 30068
DETAILS: In the US alone, over 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away per year. The materials used to manufacture a pair of shoes are created from chemical compounds that will create health hazards if left to disintegrate openly or in landfills. By donating your gently worn, used and news shoes to The Wheeler Band, your shoes are given a second chance to make a difference.
The Wheeler High School Band Booster Club is an organization that supports and uplifts our talented band students. As Boosters, our primary role is to provide operational support to the band directors, allowing them to focus on nurturing the talent of their students. We coordinate various activities for the band and provide additional resources, both financial and volunteer driven. This fundraiser will support our annual budget.
