Rotary Update: G.P. Vanier Rotary Interact Club hosted Collection Drive to Acquire Running Shoes for Young Athletes in Smoky Mountain

Vanier Interact is a shoe-in for Phillipine project: ""We decided to focus on collecting runners, soccer shoes and other sports footwear to add to Jared's collection of sports equipment for the town. Jared is so passionate about this cause, so we really wanted to help him out," says Sandra MacGregor, president of the Vanier Interact Club. "We're hoping that our small contribution can make the lives of kids a world away a whole lot better." Vanier Interact students partnered with Jared, collecting boxes of runners from their school to send with the hundreds of pieces of equipment that Jared collected. "Often we need time to mull over fundraising project ideas but we all got right on board with Jared's project and had a plan of action before he left the room," dxplains MacGregor.

Jared Hendry reports that all the sports items, including those from the Vanier students, were shipped from Victoria on March 15th, and it will arrive Manila on May 3rd"
