21st ANNUAL MANY MORE MILES SHOE DRIVE

BALDWIN BONE & JOINT PARTNERS WITH CITY HOPE CHURCH, BALDWIN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ST. MICHAEL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL & BAYSHORE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

SAVE THE DATE!

Community Outreach Campaign Kickoff – January 8, 2025

Daphne, Ala. (November 12, 2024) – Local school-age kids, runners, and exercise enthusiasts may have put a lot of miles on old running shoes and shoes for all purposes, but when they are donated to the “Many More Miles” campaign, those gently used shoes will come to life again as they land on the feet of someone who really needs them.

For the 21st year, Baldwin Bone & Joint, P.C. will host this important community outreach project; the Baldwin County-based orthopaedic practice will once again partner with City Hope Church and the Baldwin County Public Schools. This year, two new partners have been added: St. Michael Catholic High School and Bayshore Christian School.

The media, local schools, businesses, and the general public are invited to “Save the Date” for the 21st Annual 2025 Many More Miles Campaign, which will kick off January 8, 2025. The shoes collected during this campaign will go directly back to individuals and families in the local communities, including foster families, local homeless communities, local non-profit organizations, and local schools’ clothing closets. A record-breaking 5,000+ pairs of shoes were donated last year.
