The Programs

Discover how Kicks for Slicks Foundation works to support underprivileged athletes by providing access to proper running footwear and removing financial barriers to youth athletics.

Our Mission

At Kicks for Slicks Foundation, we believe that every athlete deserves the opportunity to participate in sports safely and confidently. Our programs focus on collecting, distributing, and providing running shoes to athletes who may not otherwise have access to proper footwear.

Through partnerships with schools, communities, and donors, we ensure that athletes receive the equipment they need to stay active, compete, and pursue their goals.
