Who wants some new kicks??

The 2012 shoe drive collected at the Worthington Trojan Relays was a success! Guess how many pairs of shoes they received at the Trojan Relay shoe collection. Whoever is the closest will receive a new pair of shoes from Center Sports!

Email your estimate to Tom Ahlberg by 11:59 p.m. Monday, May 21st.

The Trojan Relays collected gently used shoes donated by the generous hearts of the surrounding area. Some of the shoes will be sent on a mission trip to Guatemala headed by Tom Ahlberg. The rest of the shoes will go to Soles 4 Souls in Sheldon, Iowa. A big "Thank You" to all who participated, volunteered, and donated!

Pictured below is part of the stack of shoes that were collected.
