Response to the campaign has grown since its inception from 200 pairs donated in 2004 to a record-breaking 2,728 pairs contributed in 2019.

Shoe donations for 2020 will be accepted starting in January with final shoe drop-offs received at the 2020 Azalea Trail Run on Saturday, March 28th.

Mobile and Baldwin County students will once again be rewarded for collecting the highest number of shoes with money for their schools’ new P.E. equipment. Baldwin Bone & Joint will award cash prizes of $500, $300 and $200 to the top three schools in Mobile and Baldwin Counties who donate the most shoes. Note of interest: Over the years, shoes donated by local schools provides the largest collective donation to this important campaign.

Those interested in participating are encouraged to clean up those gently used athletic shoes and tie them together in pairs before dropping them off at any of the following locations:

• Baldwin Bone and Joint (1505 Daphne Avenue, Daphne)
• Dr. Glenn Glass’ Office (1303 Main Street, Daphne)
• The University of South Alabama Student Recreation Center
• PE Coaches with Participating Schools in Mobile & Baldwin Counties
• Final Drop-off Opportunity: 2020 Azalea Trail Run Expo (Friday and Saturday, March 27-28, Mobile Civic Center)
