WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Students at two New Hanover County schools received new pairs of shoes on Tuesday, March 10.
Students at Bradley Creek Elementary and Sunset Park Elementary received shoes during distribution events through a partnership between the Carolina Panthers, Samaritan’s Feet and the Dave & Nicole Tepper Foundation.
The distributions were part of the Panthers’ 3rd & Goal Program and the Play 60 initiative, which encourage healthy lifestyles and community engagement among students.
Local high school football players, flag football athletes and cheerleaders volunteered at both events, helping fit students with their new shoes.
Students also had the opportunity to run through the Panthers’ inflatable Panther Cathead tunnel.
