In December of 2018 Kim, Stefanie, Julia, Matt and Ryan, volunteered at the Newark YMCA for a holiday party. They had a great time playing with the kids but were upset to learn these children lived in a homeless shelter. They reached out shortly after to find out how they could help. They found out that many schools provide uniforms but kids still need their own sneakers for gym class and to participate in school sports. We all know how quickly kids grow and that sneakers are expensive. Having the correct size sneakers is important to support their growing bodies, encourage healthier lifestyles and to feel good about themselves.
This really resonated with Julia, Matt and Ryan who are all athletes. They could not imagine what it would be like to not have footwear that fit properly. This led to many conversations and a few months later with the help of their Aunt Kimmie and mom Stefanie, Getz Movin was born!
Getz Movin is a NJ based non-profit and a registered 501 (c) (3) recognized by the IRS. Getz Movin’s mission is simple, provide school aged kids and teens in need with new sneakers that fit.
2021 and 2022 has been filled with sneakers and a few exciting milestones! Not only has Getz Movin reached the 1,750 sneakers mark, we also received over 100 pairs of sneakers from Phillies superstar Bryce Harper! We met new friends at United Community Corporation in Newark and provided 46 of their kids with new sneakers. We also had our largest sneaker event with 218 kids and teen at the Boys & Girls Club in Atlantic City just in time for back to school. We ended 2021 working with our friends at the Boys & Girls Club in Newark and this continues in 2022 until we have given all 400 plus kids & teens in their 3 locations new sneakers.
We have BIG plans in 2022 and already reached out goal of giving 2,000 pairs of sneakers to kids and teens! Please consider donating to Getz Movin and help us continue to put new sneakers on kids feet and smiles on their faces!
