Here are just a few reasons hosting a sneaker drive fundraiser is better than sitting in front of the tv or spending hours scrolling through social media (actually, your fundraiser will make for great social media content)!
Make a positive environmental impact:
Sneaker drives offer an excellent opportunity to address the environmental challenges posed by discarded footwear.
By collecting and recycling sneakers, you can divert them from ending up in landfills, reducing waste and minimizing your carbon footprint.
Additionally, each pair of sneakers collected contributes to a greener future by conserving resources and reducing the need for new sneaker production.
Support a worthy cause:
Sneakers are essential for individuals of all ages, providing comfort, protection, and a sense of dignity. One reason to host a sneaker drive is to support a charitable cause or organization that is important to you. You can choose to donate the collected sneakers to underprivileged communities, homeless shelters, or even your own little league team or scout organization!

You can also collect the donated sneakers and send them to us at GotSneakers; we’ll pay for shipping and we’ll pay you cash for every pair of sneaker you send in. There is no limit to how much money you can raise through our free sneaker recycling program. We are a zero-waste company that ensures every pair of sneaker is resold or recycled!

Engage the community:
A sneaker drive fundraiser serves as a catalyst for community engagement. By rallying friends, family, neighbors, and local businesses, you create a sense of unity and purpose. Encourage everyone to spread the word, collect sneakers, and actively participate in the event!
You can organize collection points, set up social media campaigns, and collaborate with local schools, sports clubs, or community centers to maximize your impact.

If you host your fundraiser with us at GotSneakers, we’ll give you sneaker recycling bags with pre-paid shipping labels and marketing materials to promote your sneaker drive campaign.
Promote sustainability education:
Hosting a sneaker drive fundraiser presents a unique opportunity to raise awareness about sustainability and the importance of responsible consumer habits.
Through educational campaigns and events, you can enlighten people about the environmental impact of sneaker production and the benefits of recycling. Foster a culture of conscious consumption and inspire individuals to make sustainable choices beyond the sneaker drive.
This is a great way for your family to learn more about making sustainable choices, and then to share that information with your neighbors!
