The Athlete's Foot is giving back to the local schools through every sale
The Athlete's Foot raises money for local schools.
The Athlete's Foot Horsham is giving back to the community with every shoe sale through the nation-wide school rewards program.
The organisation is donating $5 from every pair of shoes sold at the Horsham shop to a local school of the customers choosing.
The Athlete's Foot Horsham manager Linda Hunt said the program is great because it allows the business to give back to the community 'as a little thank you'.
"Being this day and age, every bit helps local schools," she said.
"It's just great to give back to the community."
The Athlete's Foot has been running the program nationally for 15 years, with one school in Horsham receiving $2000 in 2023 from people shopping at the store at 86 Firebrace Street.
Schools can register online for the program and then any staff, student or members can help raise money by shopping at The Athlete's Foot.
All they have to do is nominate the school when making their purchase.
"[People] can pick a school from the local area," Ms Hunt said.
Another initiative ot The Athlete's Foot is the business's 'quiet time'.
"If kids suffer from being overstimulated in a store from loud music, they can actually book in for a quiet time," said Ms Hunt.
