A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM STEVEN BINDER
Having a good pair of sneakers is more than just footwear—it’s a source of confidence, opportunity, and dignity for kids in need. Through Project New Step Foundation, we’re not just giving shoes; we’re giving the children of Martin County, Florida, South Florida and Metro New York City the ability to walk into school with pride, participate in sports, and chase their dreams without limitations. Every pair donated is a step toward a brighter future, proving that small acts of kindness can make a lasting impact. Helping kids get the sneakers they need isn’t just about comfort—it’s about empowerment, self-esteem, and opening doors to new possibilities.
Sincerely,
Steven Binder
Founder & CEO, Project New Step Foundation, Inc.
“Project New Step Foundation gave both my daughter and son far more than pairs of sneakers — it gave them confidence. Watching them walk taller, smile bigger, and feel proud of themselves again was emotional for our family. Sometimes people underestimate how much children’s self-esteem can be impacted by simply feeling included.”

AT PROJECT NEW STEP FOUNDATION, WE BELIEVE:
Founded in 2025, Project New Step Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth in Martin County, Florida, South Florida and Metro New York City. We provide brand-new sneakers and clothing to help children feel confident—in school, on the field, and in life.
For many kids, sneakers are more than shoes—they’re a symbol of confidence, opportunity, and freedom. Yet, too many children go without. We’re changing that, one pair at a time, ensuring every child can step forward with dignity and pride.
Every dollar. Every pair. Every step counts.
