A Sneaker Giveback, Kickback

Written By Nicole Durham

HOUSTON, TX - Bridge The Gaps, a registered non-profit 501(3)(c) organization announces our first annual Sneaker Giveback, Kickback: a fundraising charity event benefiting teen programs and the Houston community.

Sneaker Culture

The Annual Sneaker Giveback, Kickback is an in-person event designated to help raise funds for Bridge The Gaps programs. The goal of the event is to reconnect our active teens and their education while helping to raise funds for the Houston community.

“We wanted to create a fundraising event that would be fun for the community but also still ties in with the culture of the students and families that we service”, mentions Omar Durham, Founder & CEO of Bridge The Gaps. “Sneakers have been a long-time part of many cultures and over the years have become a sense of unity and reliability for several of our students. We loved the idea of merging corporate participation with the sneaker culture for what will be a unique fundraising event”, Durham concludes.

A Unique Sneaker Event

Bridge The Gaps welcomes sneakers of all styles and types! “We’re looking forward to seeing what types of sneakers come out from hiding for this event, but we also don’t want to discourage anyone who is not into the sneaker culture from joining us”, Durham adds.

“This event is meant to be all-inclusive and simply provide a change in how we fundraise. We want to welcome all sneaker styles and types but also welcome those who prefer a Cowboy boot or a high heel as well”, Durham hints.

Some additional reasons why guests should consider attending:

  • Ticket sales benefiting Houston youth & teen programs

  • Open wine & beer bar

  • Light bites

  • An evening of giving back while we kick back, wear your best

  • Special guest appearances - to be announced
