Lindsey Wilson Athletics hosts Shoe Drive on Thursday

By Chris Wells

Lindsey Wilson athletics hosts its annual shoe drive on Thursday during the men and women's basketball doubleheader with Georgetown (KY).

Tipoff for the women's game on Thursday with Georgetown is 6pmCT with the men's game to follow at approximately 8pmCT at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY.



The annual event is co-sponsored by Sports Reach and AutoSmart.

Fans are encouraged to donate new or gently used shoes and socks for ministries inside the United States as well as to the countries of Belize, Costa Rica, Liberia, and Indonesia. Fans with a donation will receive free admission into the games.

"We are very proud of our partnership with Sports Reach and AutoSmart and how we impact those less fortunate in this incredibly worthy cause," Lindsey Wilson athletics director Willis Pooler said. "I encourage our fans to bring as many pairs of shoes or socks as possible while cheering on our basketball teams on Thursday night."

Those who wish to donate, but unable to attend to the games, can drop off their donations at the Lindsey Wilson athletic offices any day prior to Thursday's game.

Sports Reach was founded by Robby Speer in 1986, and since its inception, has gone to 20 different countries on five continents as part of organizational mission trips. To find out more information about Sports Reach, please visit www.sportsreach.org.
