Give Athletes a Step Forward
Make a Real Impact with Every Pair of Athletic Shoes
At The Generation Guard Foundation, we believe that no child should miss out on sports simply because they can't afford a pair of proper athletic shoes. Whether it's for soccer, basketball, running, or football—your support helps young athletes from underserved communities stay active, safe, and confident on the field.
Donate Athletic Shoes đź‘ź
Your used shoes can change a young athlete’s life.
We accept new or gently-used athletic shoes for kids and teens aged 6–18. These donations go directly to youth in need through our trusted school, club, and community partners.
- Tuition for elite sports academies and seasonal camps
- Youth sizes and adult small sizes most needed
- Donation drop-off and shipping options available
Sponsor a Pair
No shoes to give? You can still make an impact.
With a donation of just $125, you can cover the cost of a new pair of shoes for a young athlete in need. Your sponsorship provides them with the equipment—and confidence—they need to thrive in sports and life.
