"BIG Hearts, Little Shoes" Back-to-School Extravaganza

On Friday, September 7, The Little Gym of Glen Allen will be hosting a Back-to-School party at their Glen Allen location in conjunction with the launch of a new initiative to collect used or outgrown shoes for children around the world.  The program, “Big Hearts, Little Shoes,” benefits Soles4Souls, the international charity that collects shoes and distributes them to people in need.

The Little Gym of Glen Allen will kick off its “shoe-raising” initiative with an Open House event on September 7 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.  Our “Back to School Extravaganza” will give people an opportunity to meet our new Team Members, catch up with teachers and take part in our “BIG Hearts, Little Shoes” initiative.  The Little Gym of Glen Allen is offering $20 off tuition for those who attend the party and donate a pair of shoes.   For those children that grow up barefoot, every step counts in building self-confidence, even receiving a donation of a single pair of shoes makes a difference.
