Save The Shoes!

The John Carroll School Campus in Bel Air Maryland was the site of the Save The Shoes 5K. On May 1st over 100 runners gathered to participate in this important and unique fund raiser for our Mission. Caroline Kirby, a senior at the school, decided that her "Senior Project" would be to help the children in our school in a special way. Knowing that our runners participate in track competitions in bare feet, she decided to collect a pair of sneakers or cleats as an entrance fee to enter the 5K. Over 800 pairs were collected. Caroline is the second senior to pick the Mission as the recipient of her project. Last year Emily Burdshaw collected over 4000 books for our school and visited the mission to see first hand the good work that is happening in Above Rocks.Thank you so much to John Carroll School and especially to these two ever special young women!
