That’s What She Said has been an official partner of the Christie Clinic Illinois Race Weekend since 2016, collecting gently-used shoes during race weekend. We have distributed over 1,000 pairs of shoes to local organizations and to communities in places as far as Kenscoff, Haiti.
We are now introducing The Shoe Said Project, in partnership with Share your Soles, to have an even greater impact on the lives of women and children in impoverished areas around the world.
How to help
All runners are encouraged to bring their gently-used running shoes to The Shoe Said Project booth at the Health & Fitness Expo Thursday evening and/or all day Friday.
All shoes collected will be cleaned, sorted, and then shipped to our partner agency, Share Your Souls, for global distribution.
