Volunteers and Contributors
By Cam White

Pulling off the biggest shoe drive we have ever done on short notice could not have been done with out the help of family, friends and companies that have helped out in this effort. As shoes poured in, we lost count of the people to thank. We are making a concerted effort to thank everyone that helped out in the effort. If your name or company is not listed on this page, please email me so I can give you the recognition you deserve.
