Bluffton Family Recreation would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of our recent Shoe Drive Fundraiser.
Together we collected 222 bags of shoes (25 pairs each) for a grand total of 5, 550 pairs of shoes!!! By keeping all these shoes out of a landfill and instead sending them to 24 non-profits all over the world to be refurbished and used, BFR earned over $2,000, which will be used to enhance our facility and the programs offered by Bluffton Family Recreation.
