How to donate
Cross-country teams partner with GotSneakers organization
Area residents are encouraged to donate old sneakers to the cross country teams’ fundraising project by dropping the shoes off with a coach, cross-country runner or by contacting sarah.nowak@decorah. school to arrange a dropoff. Sneakers also can be dropped off at the Decorah High School office between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The GotSneakers project has recycled and reused 3.5 million pairs of shoes to date.
The Decorah High School boys and girls cross-country teams are partnering with GotSneakers, a zero-waste sneaker recycling organization, to offer an environmentally-friendly way to recycle used shoes, raise funds and help others in need.
