Runners, Cleats and Spikes
It is our intention at Yokefellows Athletics to meet the needs of those
that come in contact with us, even outside of our main purpose of
creating God blessed, positive and lucrative channels in athletics so,
youths can become responsible elite athletes.
For years now I've been driven by my "WHY" a statement that goes like this "to be a supportive resource for charities and missions around the world".
During
my last trip to Jamaica I had the opportunity to live my "WHY" and it
felt awesome!!! I had an idea that came to me the summer of 2021, as I
was doing one of our Yokefellows Athletelics community outreach youth time sessions. I would ask parents to
donate usable footwear to give back to those youth in Jamaica in need. I
called the footwear donation "Runners, Cleats and Spikes, charity drive"
It
was nice to see how many parents were open to provide me with usable
youth footwear but, it was heart breaking to see the amount of kids
okay with running in bear feett on hard soil however, Its was heat warming as I
presented the shoes to them. The smiles on their faces as they received
the shoes is worth a thousand pictures or one million words.
We would love to have "Runners, Cleats and Spikes" move along side with Yokefellows Athletics sprint program as a charity offering and place smiles on kids faces. As we appeal to more professional athletic partnerships and organizations we will keep the conversation going and look to increase the number of footwear give-a-ways.
If you have any usable footwear that a kid would some much appreciate please, contact us or me at the following number here in Canada @ 416 7881920 or Jamaica @ 876 494-4070. If you would rather email us send one to yokefellowsathletics@gmail.com.
