NFL Star Aaron Jones Donates 1,025 Shoes to Kids Across Wisconsin
Green Bay Packers' Aaron Jones Donates 1,025 Pairs of Shoes as part of Annual Yards for Shoes Campaign, Presented by Cousins Subs®
GREEN BAY, Wis., May 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones and his A&A All The Way Foundation is donating over 1,025 pairs of shoes to schools and Boys & Girls Clubs across the state of Wisconsin starting May 17 as a part of his annual Yards for Shoes Campaign, presented by Cousins Subs®.
15 different schools and Boys & Girls Clubs are receiving shoes from the A&A All The Way Foundation across the next few days. Jones personally handed out shoes to kids at Audubon Technology & Communication Center Middle and High School on May 17.
"I love this campaign," said Jones. "Seeing the smiling faces on these kids every year is really touching. It feels great to give back to the Wisconsin community and support these kids."
The shoe donation is part of Aaron Jones' Yards for Shoes Campaign, presented by Cousins Subs®, which ran during the 2022/2023 season. For every rushing yard Jones gained, Jones and his A&A All The Way Foundation pledged to donate a pair of shoes to elementary, middle and high school students. Jones earned over 1,000 rushing yards and Green Bay Packers fans funded an additional 25 pairs of shoes, totaling up to 1,025 pairs of donated shoes.
Last year, the A&A All The Way Foundation donated 841 pairs of shoes to kids. Jones' success on the football field in the 2022/2023 season, along with the rallying support of the Packers fans, allowed the A&A All The Way Foundation to beat that amount by 184 pairs of shoes!
Cousins Subs® will also be providing custom socks and stickers with every pair of shoes. Cousins Subs® has partnered with the Yards for Shoe Drive since its first year.
"At Cousins Subs, our commitment to give back to local communities is ingrained in everything we do," said Justin McCoy, VP of marketing at Cousins Subs®. "It's a privilege for us to collaborate with Aaron Jones and extend our support to his remarkable efforts. We're thrilled to provide even more shoes and socks to kids this year and make a positive impact in their lives."
