Associated Podiatrists PC Raises $5K for The Shoe That Grows

Associated Podiatrists, P.C. Blog Associated Podiatrists PC Raises $5K for The Shoe That Grows
Two years ago, our office hosted a fundraiser for The Shoe That Grows, which distributes long-lasting shoes to children in need around the world. Today, we're thrilled to announce that the $5,000 we raised was used to distribute 475 pairs of shoes to the refugee children in Uganda!
 
Missionary John, who assisted with the distribution, was kind enough to share some photos of the big day with us!
 
 
 
"You don't know what it means to those children whom some of them never had their own shoe, only borrowed from their friends, but now they have their own."
 
We're so incredibly grateful to Dr. Borovoy for orchestrating and including us in this rewarding event and especially thankful to our patients for always supporting and donating to the fundraisers we take on each year. Words cannot express our gratitude to all of you for making this possible.
