There are some combinations that pair amazingly well, like chips and salsa, cheese and wine, and Chicas Latinas de Sacramento and the Sacramento Republic FC.

Chicas Latinas Poster ImgBoth Chicas Latinas de Sacramento and Sacramento Republic FC have a strong commitment to the Sacramento community: making passionate efforts to support the community in a number of ways! In August, Sacramento Republic FC  will join forces with Chicas Latinas in support of its “Starting Off on the Right Foot” shoe drive and create a wonderful opportunity for the students at D.W. Babcock Elementary in the coming school year.

On August 4 Sacramento Republic’s game against the Fresno Football Club will be more than just a game that fans should not miss because Sacramento’s soccer team is partnering with Chicas Latinas de Sacramento! The game will be held on a hot August night of August 4 at 8 p.m. will help raise funds for the annual “Starting Off on the Right Foot” shoe drive. A portion of each $20 ticket will go toward the purchase of NEW shoes for local elementary students!

For more information on tickets and donations email: info@chicaslatinasdesacramento.org

In addition to ticket proceeds benefiting the drive, there will be shoe donation bins available at the game. The Sacramento Republic is taking it one step further (no pun intended) by accepting NEW SHOE donations for the shoe drive at their SRFC Office located at 2421 17 Street in Sacramento. Please join us for a fun, summer night that will help us make a big difference!

Can’t attend the game, but still want to give to the children at D.W. Babcock Elementary School? Donate directly online via Eventbrite — 100 percent of monetary donations will be used to purchase new shoes for children in the local area.

Chicas Latinas de Sacramento’s Annual “Starting Off on the Right Foot” Shoe Drive is just around the corner! This year our drive will benefit the students at D.W. Babcock Elementary.

The students who attend our sponsored schools live in underserved communities and lack basic back-to-school supplies. An often overlooked and basic necessity — shoes. Shoes that fit, are free of holes, have intact soles, and are not a hand-me-down are a luxury item to many of the children who attend our sponsored schools. It is our goal to see that in 2018 EVERY child at D.W. Babcock Elementary School is able to start the new year on the right foot!

In order to provide every child at our sponsored school with a NEW pair of shoes this year, we’ll need to collect enough donations from the Sacramento community to provide over 600 pairs of shoes. You can help start US off on the right foot by sponsoring this great back-to-school donation drive!

Sponsorship Information, summary:

There are 3 levels of sponsorships available — all tax deductible with 100% donations benefiting the shoe drive.   

1) Shoe-Drive Sponsor: $1,000 Gold Star Sponsorship (1 available)

Become a  Shoe Drive Star-Supporter by covering the purchase of 40 pairs of NEW shoes!

  • This level comes with a promotional event, with support from Chicas Latinas, either in-real-life or via social media, plus many other perks. Contact us to learn more!

2) Shoe-Drive Sponsor: $250 Silver Star Sponsorship (5 available)

Become a  Shoe Drive Star-Supporter by covering the purchase of 10 pairs of NEW shoes!

  • Opportunity for your business and staff members to volunteer at our distribution day (media coverage!). Plus more perks. Contact us to learn more! 

3) Host a collection event: $50 (2 available)

  • Host your own drive event! Chicas Latinas will promote and provide a collection box. Contact us to learn more!

Mark your calendars for Sacramento Young Professionals of Color‘s upcoming November Happy Hour mixer, which will be held in partnership with Chicas Latinas de Sacramento.

November 15, 5:30-7:30pm at Azul Mexican Food & Tequila Bar! 🍺🍸

 Click Here to RSVP and Invite via Facebook!

The event will officially launch Chicas Latinas’ 2018 “Starting Off on the Right Foot” Shoe Drive. We’re getting a head start this year and hope you can join us at SYPOC’s event and help kick-off our drive on the right foot! At SYPOC’s November Happy Hour, we will be collecting NEW shoes and monetary donations for Chicas Latinas signature shoe drive event.

“Starting Off on the Right Foot” provides NEW shoes to elementary students in need. The children who attend our sponsored Sacramento schools live in underserved communities and the schools and students often lack basic back-to-school supplies. Shoes are often overlooked when finances are limited, yet they are essential to a student’s self-esteem and child development. Shoes that fit properly, are free of holes, and have intact soles, are considered a luxury item for some Sacramento families and children. It is our goal to see to it that EVERY child, at our sponsored school is able to start the new year on the right foot!

“Starting​ ​Off​ ​on​ ​the​ ​Right​ ​Foot”​ ​History:
2014 – Hagginwood Elementary: Collected 100+ pairs
2015 – Woodbine Elementary: Collected 400+ pairs
2016 – Del Paso Heights Elementary: Collected 500+ pairs

D. W. Babcock Elementary has be chosen as Chicas Latinas’ 2018 shoe drive beneficiary! Babcock Elementary School serves approximately 400 Pre-K through 6th grade students. Over 90% of the students are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged.

One hundred percent of all shoe and monetary donations will be used to provide a NEW pair of shoes for the children at D. W. Babcock Elementary, part of Twin Rivers Unified School District. All donations are tax-deductible (Tax ID: 46-1048619).

Chicas Latinas de Sacramento is excited to announce our shoe-drive for a Sacramento area elementary school!  

Shoe Drive 2

We are sponsoring and providing shoes to the children at Hagginwood Elementary School. The school includes grades K-6 and has approximately 500 students — of which 96% receive reduced lunch prices and are considered “socio-economically disadvantaged” or at/below poverty level.

When we asked staff what the students are most in need of when starting the new school year, we were simply told, “shoes.” Shoes that fit and shoes in working condition… free of holes and torn soles. Back-to-school shoes, a basic need to most, are a luxury item to these children.

For that reason, Chicas Latinas members are hosting a shoe-drive and are asking the community to join us for “Starting off on the Right Foot,” as we rally together in an effort to provide shoes for these students as they enter into the new school year. Shoes must be new and should fit 5-12 year old students, boys and girls.

The shoe collection dates will run from August 4 thru September 18 — ending with a free #Network4Cause event for the school the evening of Sept. 18, for community members, participants, and donors!

Please share this event and consider asking your colleagues, friends, and family to donate A pair of shoes… I have 100% confidence we can collect 500 pairs of shoes, with your help! (No need to RSVP)

Drop-Off Locations 8/4- 918:

Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff: 401 Watt Ave. Sacramento, CA 95864

Capsity: 2572 21st. St, Sacramento, CA 95818
