At Project New Step Foundation, the next two weeks represent something truly special. They represent the moment when vision turns into reality.
We are proud to share that we will be distributing over 1,130 pairs of brand-new Nike sneakers to the incredible children and staff of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County, Florida. What began as an idea—to ensure every child has the confidence that comes with something as simple, yet meaningful, as a new pair of sneakers—is now coming to life.
This is more than a distribution. It is a celebration.
Each “Sneaker Celebration” will be filled with energy, joy, and community. With food trucks, ice cream, music, and activities, these events are designed to create a memorable experience for every child. And at the center of it all is a powerful moment—each child receiving their own brand-new pair of Nike sneakers for the summer.
Because at Project New Step Foundation, we believe something simple but important: Every child deserves a new pair of sneakers—and the confidence that comes with it.
Confidence impacts how a child shows up. How they participate. How they believe in themselves. A new pair of sneakers is not just about footwear—it’s about pride, belonging, and the ability to step forward with confidence in everything they do.
These upcoming celebrations are a reflection of what can happen when a community comes together with purpose. Through the generosity of our supporters and the commitment of our partners, we are able to create moments that matter—moments that help young people feel seen, valued, and empowered.
We invite club members to be a part of these special days. The Clubs have selected the following dates and times for the Sneaker Celebrations:
- May 7 – Hobe Sound Club | 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
- May 12 – Stuart Club | 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
- May 13 – Indiantown Club | 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
- May 14 – Jensen Beach High | 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
- May 15 – Port Salerno Club | 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
This is an exciting time for our foundation. In our first year, to be able to impact so many lives in such a meaningful way is something we are incredibly proud of. But more importantly, it reinforces why we do what we do.
Because when you give a child confidence, you give them something far greater than a moment—you give them a foundation for their future.
