Give Running Is Celebrating 5 Years!This October through December marks the fifth anniversary of the inaugural shoe collection drive Founder Greg Woodburn held in his hometown that served as the impetus for Give Running.
We are humbled and inspired by how much Give Running has snowballed these past five years -- and know it would not be possible without your enthusiastic support.
Thank you for your generosity and commitment -- and let's continue running forward to make an even greater difference!

Give Running Helps
Victims
of the Haitian EarthquakesHelping
others, especially during times of great hardship, is of the utmost
importance; with this in mind, our new Kentucky chapter has already
sent 297 pairs of
shoes to the disadvantaged in Haiti through Brent Gambrell Ministries
based in Nashville,
Tennessee.
In addition, our Give Running Headquarters has sent
over 250
pairs of shoes to Haiti to date. We would like to thank everyone
who has been a part of donating, cleaning, and shipping the shoes --
and we hope you will join us in doing our part to help those most in
need.
