Explosive Performance 1 Training

Mission:

Explosive Performance 1 wants to stop bullying in the Indianapolis Community. One big issue that leads to bullying, is less fortunate children having old worn out shoes. It has always been a way for children to degrade others by what they wear. Our goal is to provide as many children within Indianapolis from grades K-12 with new or lightly used shoes. The BIG DIFFERENCE with this shoe drive is we are looking for high priced name brand shoes like Jordan’s, Yeezy’s, or any mainstream name brand shoes that typically are priced between $100- $300. The goal is to try and have at least 1 pair of shoes in each size from 1Y boys/girls, all the way to women’s size 11 and men’s size 13. We would like for each child we help to go into the new school year with amazing shoes they can be proud to show off. We feel this will help with kids bullying less fortunate kids because of what they wear. Our 1st year goal is to provide at least 25-35 children throughout Indianapolis with these shoes.

How: To start out we will look to friends and family members that are big shoe collectors to donate 1 or 2 pairs of these type shoes. Most shoe collectors only wear these type shoes a handful of times and then they just sit in their closet. So, we will ask for them to donate for the greater cause of anti-bullying. The next step is to ask for donations between $5 and $25 to allow us to purchase shoes in sizes that we do not get through actual shoe donations. At this point we will contact schools and ask about children that will benefit from our program.
 
When: Donations for The Shoe Drive will begin July 1st and end July 31st.
We would appreciate any and all donations, but more importantly you would be doing your part in helping stop bullying in my community! That means more to our children than it could ever mean to us!
