ASAP - Mile Three


Mile Three: The shoes have been gift wrapped and are ready to be delivered. It's a privilege to be able to run and to race (and on rare occasion have the opportunity to place in a race). I want to share this joy with those less fortunate. It's that simple. I am very fortunate to be in a position where I'm able to give to others.



A Shoe Adoption Project's Vision: (Draft - Updated 1/22/17)
The vision of ASAP is to provide every homeless/foster child in the school district with one pair of new athletic shoes each academic year. New shoes help promote the improvement of a child's physical and emotional health. Through running, the child can develop positive self-esteem, accountability, and confidence.

A Shoe Adoption Project's Mission Statement: (Draft - Updated 1/20/17)
By communicating with the school district's Homeless Youth Liaison, Mr. Ricky Yip will collect information on the shoe sizes of the children who are in need. Using donation collected from local runners, teachers, and community members, Mr. Yip will organize the purchase, gift wrap, and delivery of new athletic shoes to children in need. ASAP's mission is to use 100% of any donation collected directly towards children in need.
