o For the 19th year, Baldwin Bone & Joint, P.C. will host this important community
outreach project, and again partnering with Baldwin County Public Schools –
contributors of over 85% of shoes donated. For the second consecutive year, the local
orthopaedic practice will partner with City Hope Church to achieve excellence in
distribution of shoes to those in need.
o Since its inception, response to the campaign has grown from 200 pairs donated in 2004
to a record-breaking 2,728 pairs contributed most recently. Shoe donations for 2023 are
being accepted now, with final shoe drop-offs received at the 2023 Azalea Trail Run on
Saturday, March 25, in Mobile, Ala.
o Baldwin County students will once again be rewarded for collecting the highest number
of shoes with money for their schools’ new P.E. equipment. Baldwin Bone & Joint will
award cash prizes to P.E. programs to the top three Baldwin County Public Schools who
donate the most shoes. In addition, the class that brings in the most shoes overall will
receive a Chick-fil-a party and the teacher will be awarded a cash prize provided by City
Hope Church.
