We recently donated some shoes to Sport for Youth Runners in New York City. At the end of the race, the runners were given Crocs™ Athens – not a bad gift after 13.1 miles of running! Here’s an email we received from Marta LaRusso, one of the organizers:

Thank you Crocs for the amazing flip-flops you donated to our runners! This past Sunday 35 of the Sports for Youth Runners helped raise $50,000 to support athletic activities for youths in and around New York City. Our runners trained long hours and endured brutal heat conditions during the race, but their hard work was rewarded with fun-filled goodie bags of colorful Crocs and tasty treats that brought huge smiles to their faces even after the 13.1 long hot miles. I intended to get a group photo but because of the intense heat we had a lot of our runners finishing at very different times and weren’t able to snap all of them as a group. I’ve included a few shots of the runners with huge grins as we greeted them with their colorful new footwear. Thank you again for your generous donation and for helping our runners support Sports for Youth!
