SIU Barefoot

Give Hope and New Shoes with

Carbondale Fundraising Outreach

Coach Nagy of SIU will once again coach barefoot in support of Samaritan’s Feet, continuing a meaningful tradition of giving back to the Carbondale community. Last year’s Barefoot Coaching event, along with the generosity of local supporters, helped Samaritan’s Feet partner with the Victory Dream Center and Pastor Doug Cherry to serve over 200 individuals with new shoes, socks, and a message of hope.

This year, we’re coming together again to build on that impact. Please join us in raising funds to help individuals within the Carbondale community in need.  A gift of just $30 can help change a life. Donate today and help us make this year’s Barefoot Coaching event a success.

About Samaritan's Feet

Samaritan’s Feet is a non-profit organization that serves and inspires hope in children by providing shoes as the foundation to a spiritual and healthy life resulting in the advancement of education and economic opportunities. Over 30 years ago, a boy in Nigeria, Manny Ohonme, received his first pair of shoes at the age of nine. That simple gifted prompted him to play basketball and follow his dreams, ultimately earning him a college basketball scholarship in the United States. A pair of shoes changed his life. So in 2003, Manny and his wife Tracie, started Samaritan’s Feet with a goal of giving hope through the gift of shoes.
