A shoe story Ch.2!

EL PASO, TX (December 14, 2021) — Tis the season to give back! evolve FCU has once again partnered with Academy Sports & Outdoors Northwest El Paso to host their second annual shoe donation event benefiting Child Crisis Center, Center Against Sexual and Family Violence, El Paso Children’s Hospital & Children’s Miracle Network, and Lee & Beulah Children’s Home.

Both businesses have been working in unison to select and individually wrap 200 pairs of new shoes for the kids of these local organizations.

Guests at this event mixer will include the organization’s staff and coordinators, Academy general manager and store manager, and evolve FCU’s marketing team.

What sparked A Shoe Story donation event? In taking a tour at one of the children’s organizations, they mentioned to evolve FCU that the facial expression a child has when they open a new pair of shoes is priceless. Wearing a new pair of shoes was a way for the kids to break them in and gain a sense of empowerment, encouragement, and the opportunity to create their own new paths! This is how A Shoe Story was born.

This is a private event, but the media is invited to attend the donation mixer event for story coverage.
