Kicks for Kids v3: Charity Shoe Drive 2009

Presented by the Sneaker Suite/Shoe City/Scion/Everyday PPLE

December 20th from 12p-8p in The Mall at Prince George’s

From the invite that we got from iCan from over at the Sneaker Suite….

Join us for the the third annual Kicks For Kids Charity Shoe Drive event! Last year over 300 new shoes were donated to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington. This year, shoes purchased at Shoe City will be donated to the Sasha Bruce Youthwork, So Others Might Eat (S.O.M.E.), & the Steve Francis Foundation Organizations. To help in our community efforts, we are bringing you Jive recording artists Raheem DeVaughn, Interscope recording artist Wale, Celebrity Chef ‘Rock’ & NBA Star Steve Francis live & in person. Have an opportunity to meet & greet with our hometown heros & help us all make a difference in our communities by helping those less fortunate & in need during this Holiday season.

As an incentive to those who donate, Shoe City will give you a 10% off friends and family discount towards your entire purchase for your last minute holiday shopping. In addition, Scion will have a special gift bag with movie passes, shirts, hats, key chains, & other cool items. We also have NBA Star Steve Francis who will have some exclusive NBA product to give away to those who donate in numbers. All day long, we plan to have a ton of surprises just for helping us in the communities that we live & serve in.

Shaqwana from the Russ Parr Morning Show

If you stay down in the A-Town, that means all ya’ll from East Point to Duluth, up around Buckhead and all the way out to our Marietta Folk, you need to check this out.  This is going to be special.

One of our boys from the old school high school turned us on to the Gallery Group ATL.

These guys renovated the King Plow Art Center and turned it into a place to see some solid live shows.

And rest assured, they’ve got a plan. You’ll be spending more of your time here in the future.

They are  launching Gallery Group Atlanta with Big Boi, Clipse and Yelawolf on Friday November 27th!

First-  Simply put, you need to go to this. We hung with these guys a few times in Athens Georgia, they know how to throw a party. Go be good amongst good people

Second-  What do you have to do that is better than this? I can tell you what isn’t…going to the Peachtree Tavern once again in hopes of spending way more of your hard earned cash trying to take home some Georgia State Coed than what it would cost to see Big Boi/Daddy Fat Sacks/ General Patton/Sir Lucious L. Leftfoot/Billy Ocean.

And even in this shit economy, you can afford this:

There are 3 Tiers of Tickets Available for this Event:
General Admission-
$38.50 (21+)
General Admission Under 21 Years old ticket
$48.50 (18+)

“This is going to be an amazing evening and we are offering 3 incredible acts in an exclusive and intimate atmosphere.

Come enjoy an incredible night at our venue located in the heart of downtown Atlanta!”
