How It Works

At The Dr. Ronell Blizzard Foundation, our mission is simple:
connect kids in need with the sneakers they deserve.

Here’s how it all comes together:

For Families

  1. Sign Up Online
    Parents or guardians fill out our request form with their child’s name, shoe size, and contact details.

  2. Get Matched
    We match sneaker requests with available donations (new or gently used).

  3. Receive Sneakers
    Sneakers are delivered directly to your home or distributed through community events.

👉 Note: To help as many kids as possible, we ask families to request only one pair per child, per year.

For Donors

Option 1: Give New Sneakers or Make a Donation

  • $50 provides a brand-new pair of sneakers for a child.

  • One-time and monthly donation options are available.

Option 2: Donate Gently Used Sneakers

  • Clean, lightly worn sneakers in good condition are welcome.

  • Youth and teen sizes are most needed.

  • Contact us for drop-off or mailing instructions.

What Happens Next

  • We Collect: Monetary and sneaker donations come in from supporters.

  • We Match: Kids’ requests are matched with sneakers from our inventory.

  • We Deliver: Sneakers are shipped directly to families or handed out at local events.

Why It Matters

A pair of sneakers is more than footwear — it’s confidence, dignity, and opportunity. Together, we can make sure every child steps forward with pride.
